It seems though women are the worst to each other, that one video where the speaker wasn't shown any respect at all as she was speaking about her ordeal, that is what scares people about government getting involved. The ability of being human to the public is really lacking by public officials, both elected and appointed.

She should have taken control at the very beginning. I would have said if you yell out and are being rude than you will be removed. That would have taken care of it. The first loud mouth would have been kicked out and then she would have showed who was in control.

The Town Hall meetings are proof that far too many people in this country are dependent upon others to think for them. The gun slingers who arrived locked & loaded to protest against a "health care plan" gave proof to the fact there are far too many crazies in this country. In addition to a health care plan, this country is in dire need of an Exorcist!

I agree. They exemplify the Nazi street sweeper. The little man has the floor now.
I suspect that major health care will move offshore just as so many other endeavors have.

The Town Asylum meetings moniker would be more accurate.
