understanding mob mentality

Anyone following the pollsters recently will understand that the overwhelming majority of Americans are satisfied with their health care insurance.

Coupled with their deep distrust of proposed government run health care .. it should be no surprise that citizens are loudly voicing their concerns at the several Town Hall meetings orchestrated by the Democrats and being held across the land.

Of course .. our Democrat leaders have a simple explanation for all the angry uproar we are witnessing. These people have been planted by special interest groups to derail Obama's health care message .. they claim. The likes of Nancy Pelosi have even described these citizens as a mob .. comparing them to Nazis.

They just don't seem to get it. The electorate is speaking .. and the reply is to call them names. No surprise there. One AARP rep, after being shouted down by angry citizens, told them to go ahead and have their fun. Fun! Talk about a disconnect. Evidently, after watching this on national news, many AARP members have carried that fun to a new level by canceling their memberships.

Our elected officials had better be watching and listening .. because misunderstanding THIS mob mentality could result in their being out of a job come next election.

global warming update

Today's early morning outdoor temperature provides no hint of the looming dog days typically ahead. In fact .. last month was the second coolest July on record here in the valley.

If this global warming problem gets any worse .. we'll be breaking out the winter coats and mittens.
