Some seem to enjoy petty brawling.You're right, on several fronts. ;-) I can't help but wonder whether those waving offensive signs are taking the only opportunity they get to behave badly: their station in life does not allow them to behave that way to any of the other authority figures in their lives but to do it in politics (and especially in front of a TV camera!) falls under the noble umbrella of "freedom of speech" rather than crude discourtesy. Not sure that any of us around here would need that excuse, though. ;-) Thanks for the heads-up.

While others worry about healthcare funding and deficits, here's what's going on at the end of the earth:

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
