JP. It may interest you to know that Canada had a similarly angry reaction when healthcare reform was introduced here. Tommy Douglas and his party lost power because of it. Yet, once the sillyness settled down, we kept healthcare and have a reasonable system.
Mark I agre with you, though I think that there is a solution. People need to tak a critical look at all things political and call bs when they see it, no matter the party affiliation. Sadly critical thinking is not something easily taught in a mass education system. There is also that horse and water thing.
By the way, if you want to feel better about US politics, take a look at Italy. Burlusconi really has his fachism mojo going!
