My dear Folk:
 
Please know that I do not want the "screamo" brigade winning anything --
they are unworthy of any victory. They might be winning the p.r. battle for
now, but truthfully, these people know this country is changing, and they
are part of a group that is fading -- and it scares the hell out of them,
hence the loud, aggressive and at times dishonest tactics. 
I'm not a huge fan of our health insurance system, and agree it needs a
major overhaul (though there is no panacea either in a fully private or
public sector solution) -- and I agree that the Obama admin. has not used
its power or influence well at all. 
I am doing what I can, as a citizen, to help bring about positive changes in
our system. However, "anger" on its own is not going to solve a damn thing.
It didn't when Bush was in office, and it won't now, either. People need to
keep informed, keep on their elected reps and vote. In the long run, that
will do more good than screaming back at some town-hall nutter ever well. 
That's my 2.5 cents. Enjoy the good things in your day, fellow Gatherer. 
 
Warm regards,
 
KW

Personally I don't think that there's enough anger in America these days.
An inert President with a majority, with the ability to pretty much push
things through, and a voting public being shouted down by a minority and
pacified through fear.
America is in a highly fractured state right now, you want the loud mouth
Right wing knuckle draggers to get their way? Do you want to keep paying out
of the nose for health insurance, that will only deny you care later down
the road?



WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY!

I do, on occasion. He's a smart man (even if I don't always agree with him),
but a little too strident for my tastes. (Don't blame him for being angry,
but in general, there is too much "anger" in our country today, as it is.) 
But keep listening, Concrete.  I could see Jaz Coleman on his show, for sure
