Here we go again

While watching the bussed-in, well coached "grassroots" screamers who do their best to scare the bleep out of anyone who shows up to hear their elected representatives explain health care, among other things, I remembered watching TV commercials many years ago. In the days of outlandish claims and no regulation to keep at least the worst of the scams off the airwaves, my father would mutter "I don't know what's worse -- the way they lie, or the number of people who believe it."
