Arlen Specter visited my hometown to hold a town hall meeting on health care reform at the local university (where I went to undergrad) recently. Here's the article.
It's central Pennsylvania, so naturally most of the people were afraid of godless socialism and blind support-our-troops sentiments. Oh, and they completely buy into the "government-sponsored death panel" myth (without realizing that the US already has death panels in the form of large insurance companies). Sigh... |

You know what? I'm glad people are pissed. They should be. People have been silently accepting all the shit from the government for decades. Hopefully the anger will continue, and we can see some real change, not phony change that we can believe in but have yet to see.
