/////I do not know how so many people can hate Songwronger. He is, I think, American. He has family and he cares for them. His ideas may differ from yours, but that means he has what you Americans believe in: freedom./////

It might have morre to do with responses as this:

"I don't have to justify myself to you, you hysterical jackoff."

When someone's a prick and as asshole, don't defend it by saying it's because he cares about his family or whatever, that implies that if I really cared as much about my family as he does his that I'd be more of a prick and an asshole too. When someone is a prick and an asshole, it's because they are prick and an asshole. I don't care if they are, I'm no saint myself, but stop trying to sugar-coat it--just say it outright.

With that said, Justice Roberts voted in favor of the health care bill, I believe, for one main reason: It's the first time anyone has really done anything about reforming health care and if SCOTUS kills it, it will probably be the last time and it CLEARLY needs to be reformed. We can't kill it and then go back to complaining that no one ever does anything about the spiraling costs and degenerating services in the American health care system.

As for the experts here who know that it's all about only filling the pcokets of the rich and that it will do absolutely no good whatsoever and if it really was going to do any good, it wouldn't have been allowed to be implemented and that millions will die and have to sacrifice their children to pay for the premiums and services and madications--why don't we button it and just see how it shakes out? It's not like you have a choice now. You don't know what's going to happen any more than I do and I have no idea. One thing I do know: we'd better do something and something has finally been done. So, for now, I prefer to have hope. At worst, it will be no better than what we have.

To paraphrase George Bush: Give the chance a plan to work.
