as did several people I know, some after seeing mine, some independently.
I agree w/ everything you say here... and add... ...that the wave doesn't mean everyone who took part is of one accord on how to get from A to B on health care reform. A McCain voting centrist/Republican I know posted it, too. He's someone who has questions about the efficacy of the current proposed plan from the Democrats. I don't necessarily agree with him, but he is sincere in his concerns. Like you, I believe a lot of the most histrionic criticism of health care reform has been ginned up by ideologues carrying water for entrenched special interests whose only interest is in seeing that 1) nothing changes and 2)the whole thing blows up in the faces of Obama and the Democrats so as to restore the GOP to power.
But I also hope even those of us who understand how desperately our health care system needs to be reformed don't lose sight of the fact that there can be honest disagreements that need to be worked out.
