First the birthers and now the angry mobs disrupting health town hall meetings across the nation. I don't even know if I'm supposed to feel better that some of these mobs are part of organized conservative astroturf efforts. I am so tired of being disappointed at how eager Americans are to rise up against their own self-interest and the self-interest of other Americans. And I am also so tired of trying, and failing, to understand the people responsible for facilitating this kind of behavior. Enough, already. My cup of hate doth overfloweth.

Clearly, the past 5 decades have shown that we have a boundless appetite for consumption of whatever, health care included, whether it is truly necessary or not. The issue is one of perspective and prioritization. It also pisses me off that anyone can think that a person's happiness can somehow detract from another's, but that is another topic.
