Opions. Heh. What are they Good for? Absolutely Nothin'.

Watching this "public debate" on healthcare unfold is a fascinating process. There is certain amount of wonderment at the delusional quality of this angry segment of the American people. Oh, its not just their arguments that are delusional, even though the fact that "death panels" have never and will never exist certainly qualifies as a delusion. Rather, there is a significant amount of delusion in their apparent belief that their opinions matter. Now, that might sound hypocritical coming from what is essentially an opinion piece by a random schmuck in his apartment. But its not, really. I don't think there is anything essentially wrong with voicing your opinion. But to get angry when no one cares? That shows a fundamental disconnect with reality. I've said it before and I'll say it again; this ain't a democracy. The opinion of the individual on the street doesn't matter for squat. So, go ahead. Do what I do. Put you're opinions on the web. Write them to your congressmen. Shove them up your...well, you get the idea. Just don't go nuts when no one pays attention. Because, honestly, why would they?
