So I'm sitting here watching the Early Show (mistake #1) and Harry Smith is talking with Arlen Specter about the town hall meetings that have been going on. Mr. Specter said that he has been impressed with how well prepared the opponents of government run healthcare have been...and then he said "there's no doubt those materials have been supplied to them" as if no one who opposes what (edited by me because I am trying REALLY hard to respect our President since he is our elected leader but understand that as an individual separate from that office, I have ZERO respect for him) Obama says is not intelligent enough to do their own research or print a copy of the pending legislation and read it. As someone who does not like the idea of having my healthcare chosen for me, and as someone who (I think) is considered fairly intelligent, this really offends me. Sorry for the political rant two days in a row. I'm just feeling helpless these days as I watch the country go down the toilet. And I fear that in the days to come, my voicing my opinion like this will become something that is not allowed.
As an aside, does anyone else find it amusing that the other anchors call a man who is mostly bald "Hair"?

Health Care "Reform"
First of all, let me say right up front that I have not read "page 16" of this bill so I don't know what it says (not that I think I'd actually understand what it said if I did read it). But, if this guy is right, I'm less happy about the path our current President is going down than I was before. Read, research, make your own judgement, but frankly this scares me.
