Really, when's the last time you can remember a matter of serious public policy being decided on its merits rather than on the spin and manipulation that's driving wingnut faux outrage at these so-called town hall meetings?

I'd truly love to be absolutely wrong on this, meaning your interpretation would be correct. I just don't see the evidence to support that position.

But I'd really value hearing of any situations over the past three or so decades -- the years since St. Raygun's initial defunding of public education produced the desired results -- that haven't been swayed by mobs of reactionary idiots screaming USA! USA! USA!

Best,
