But above all, we have comfortable situations, adequate health care. <br /><br />It worries me that so many people listen to Rush L. Why? Has he convinced people that he alone speaks the truth? Do people know how to validate statements, seek multiple sources? <br /><br />If our First Amendment gives Rush the right to say what he wants, so it also gives all of us the right to determine if what he says mirrors reality.Joe LaGuardianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16153520.post-74947279981821024662009-08-13T20:32:17.127-04:002009-08-13T20:32:17.127-04:00Nathan, good to see you're writing a column ag...Nathan, good to see you're writing a column again — and blogging. I've also written about health care reform on my blog, http://kyvoice.com/winchestersun/newerworld/<br /><br />What gets me about all this is that there is so much information out there about health care legislation, but so many people won't believe what's in the mainstream media. They only read partisan Web sites that spread the kind of misinformation you mention.<br /><br />Then they'll tell you to "read the bill" when you know they haven't read HR 3200 themselves (It's 1017 pages long). So they believe it promotes euthanasia, requires coverage of abortion, limits choice, and is "socialized medicine."<br /><br />I don't usually quote atheists, but the words of Voltaire are appropriate here: arguing with someone who has renounced reason is like giving medicine to the dead.<br /><br />RandyRandy Patrickhttp://kyvoice.com/winchestersun/newerworld/noreply@blogger.com
