Silly Amercans, health care bills are for socialists!

I was walking into work last October and Mr. __ stopped me in the parking lot to give me an article and speech about how Obama was a terrorist and was going to destroy our country. He was angry, and the facts he gave were-well silly. Just like the birth certificate drama (you know, because if I were a 19 year old pregnant white woman in college I would want to go to Kenya to have my baby), and the death panels, and the countless other silly accusations that are still blowing around. I swear I wasn't trying to be rude but all I could do was laugh.

This respectable 70-something year old man made me laugh, and he didn't mean to so it was at his expense and I feel sorry for that.

However, he gave me the best advice - maybe somewhat tongue in cheek, but good advise: Educate yourself.

See- it's so easy to get angry. It's even easier to remain ignorant. I won't take you seriously unless you actually know what you are talking about.

So, I ask of you:

Read the actual health care bill.

Educate yourself, and then form your opinions.

Then when you talk to me, we can have an actual conversation. Not what you heard on O'Reilly and what I learned from The Daily Show.

Cause we're better than that.

(Though both shows are the same amount of funny.)
