Well either 70% of the country really doesn’t care about granny, or something is wrong with the picture some people have painted about health care reform. I mean, does it really seem reasonable that so many people subscribe to the Logan’s Run scenario?

You remember Logan’s Run don’t you? It was the movie where no one over 30 could be trusted, so they’d bring them to Carousel where they were put to death on the ride of their lives.

Or how about Solient Green, where old people were done away with and turned into food? Wow, imagine if instead of food we could turn them into fuel? Two birds with one stone!

Hey, if you’re going to allow your paranoia to run rampart, you might as well go all the way, right?

But while you’re dreaming up your narrow minded conspiracy theories, and calling President Obama a nazi, fascist, socialist, think about this . . .

No one in their right mind would go along with the crazy notion that anyone is expendable just because they’ve grown old or can no longer contribute to the money machine we call capitalism. Old people are loved, and most people, yes even liberals, go through great lengths and expenses to make sure their old people live out the rest of their lives with as much comfort and happiness as can be generated.

So you might be able to question the motives of one man, or one administration. But do you really think 70% of Americans would stand back and support a reform bill that would snuff out the people they’ve loved most in all the world?

Cracker anyone?
