Civil Discourse
I cannot believe the discourse of my fellow Americans over this health care mess! People screaming about nothing - what is this country coming to? There is more misinformation than I can ever remember about anything. There isn't even a real bill to consider yet. IT has to be the opposition just wants to make things crazy so that it looks like the controlling party can't get anything done. I am just appalled at the inane things that are said by so many average people, that I have decided there is no shame in being liberal and elite. At least we can speak coherently. Of course, I've always had my bias for intelligence and rationality. I don't think I've ever seen so much irrationality related to one thing. Maybe I need to get out more. But I am truly concerned that average Americans are so stupid. It does not bode well for my own dotage, when my faculties are not as acute as they used to be. And the decline has already begun! It is all just too amazing for words!

I am equally disgusted. Health reform is absolutely imperative. In 1995, James Fallows had an article about the demise of Hillary's health reform called, "A Triumph of Misinformation."
America must wise up, stand up, and refuse to tolerate this misinformation.
