Perhaps kindness is the way we go with health care reform
I've been to town hall meetings in the past. I once saw anti-war protesters/green party activists try to shout down Big Mo Hinchey in New Paltz (they didn't get far, they were boo'ed down and shut out). Afterword I talked to one of the disruptors. I mentioned that I was a Kucinich guy, anti-war, the whole bag. I told them that with all due respect their behavior was offensive and immature.

They went on about fascism and the one party system. I said "God bless" and went on my way.

1. Well, yes, kindness and calmness. This doesn't mean we are silent and invisible.
But to be sure, meeting their anger with anger only makes them look less crazy.

Recommended.
