Lee, you have to understand. What you see as a massive ill-considered piece of social engineering I see as just a part of the standard service every single civilized government on the planet should provide for its citizens, like removing snow from the roads or delivering the mail. And every single one of them does, except us.
I'm not talking right or wrong here, it's just that what is so obvious to you is not so obvious to everyone else. Many, if not most Americans, and every single foreigner I've talked to about this, for years now, even those who complain about their national health service, rolls his eyes at me as if to say "How can such a progressive and modern and rich country like yours possibly put up with this idiocy?"
And it doesn't help your case much when you guys start talking about fiendish plots to steal our liberty and property. It's a lot like the handgun debate. It just isn't as onesided and obvious to everyone else as it is to you. You're just going to have to understand that people who don't immediately agree with you aren't necessarily crazy, or stupid or evil.
