I have yet to encounter a person that can loose his or her head (figuratively, that is) and remain poised, elegant, and calm. These mannequins are a lesson in civility, and should be required props at every politician's town hall meeting on the proposed health care legislation. Media footage of outbursts and indignations, some feigned, many purchased, and others channeled repercussions of misinformation, or misanthropic harmonies...make me sad.
Voice your opinion...sure, but spare us the apoplectic hysteria and the meanness. It may be too ironic that the recent uproar shadowing Government's involvement in health care reform has produced such crisp and contrasting radiographs. These transparent films are the thin veneer separating civilization and barbarism, and it saddens me. Viral rage should be the best argument for health care reform.
