Amazing furor over health bill passage
For more that year now we have been subjected to an astounding furor concerning health care. Since the passage of the health care bill this furor, coupled with inflammatory rhetoric, has resulted in threats of and acts of violence directed toward both those in favor of and those opposed to the health care bill.
All of this has led me to the conclusion that many in our society have discarded the notion of noblesse oblige and have taken up the banner of "I've got mine, screw you!"
It may well be the case that Johann von Goethe was correct when he penned, "We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe."
