Miscellaneous

Yesterday I had the misfortune of being forced to overhear a well-known propagandist (initials R.L.) attach pejorative labels to people and ideas he disagrees with, and repeat the attachment ad nauseam. (As I said, he?s a propagandist.) The subject happened to be health-care reform. I pity people who have surrendered their critical thinking to people like him.

But never mind that propagandist. Here?s an NPR item saying that 73% of doctors like the idea of a public option. This includes 63% who like availability of both public and private options, and 10% who want a public-only option (I think that means ?single payer?).
