Boggled Mind

Saw a list of quotes on Salon.com today that led with a statement that kind of blew my mind:

"Keep your government hands off my Medicare." Speaker at health care reform town hall meeting in Simpsonville, S.C., commenting on the government-created Medicare program, quoted by The Washington Post on July 28.

Yep. Keep government hands off of Medicare.

The sheer, unbridled idiocy of that statement makes me seriously fear for the future of my country. When did people get so STUPID here? Has it always been like this? Did I just never notice?

I need to start shopping for a cave or bunker or something and get the hell outta dodge.
