Those of us who are tired of seeing friends rejected from insurance due to pre-existing conditions and those who would like to see small business free from the strangle-hold of health care costs have to make our voices heard.  I feel that we are being drowned out by the chorus of t.v. talking heads and their minions.

It is the same feeling I had in 2003 when those same talking heads convinced us that the health and safety of the nation required the invasion of Iraq.  It's sadly ironic that the health and safety that inspires the protection and sacrifice of tens of thousands of American troops is apparently not worthy of the protection and sacrifice of the American public.

Thank you, OPB, for having this discussion.  I appreciate that I don't have to scream and shout to express myself here.

Well, if we lived in a creepy sci-fi semi-fascist society of the future, that would be a great idea..    

Luckily, the culture we live in now doesn't purposely punish children and their families for needing special ed services.  People with special education needs include John Lennon, George Patton, Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, Albert Einstein, and Whoopi Goldberg.  Assuming the "leaders of the future" aren't going to be sped kids is a terrible mistake.

It scares me how the eugenics-folks come out of the walls when this stuff is discussed.
