And here's a bit of personal observation. When someone does something wrong and are called on it they sit quiet. When they think they've done nothing wrong they tend to get up and shout and argue. So for me at least, I guess that tells you what I think about those during the speech who sat like they were in church, stoic I think is a good term.

So you are in favor of nationalizing, not just the health insurance
companies, but also life insurance and automobile insurance? Your logic
would apply to them as well.

 What logic are you ascribing to me?  All I said was that the huge
amounts of money being made by health insurance companies, and the
attendant dividends being paid to their stockholders, is a big part of
the equation in terms of why so many are against reform of the
insurance end of the health care debate, and that issue not being
talked about much at all.

 Indeed, when Obama spoke to that last night and talked of making
sure that insurance companies play fair and square, as opposed to
stacking the deck in their favor, denying insurance and/or benefits
primarily to enhance their profits, the Republican side of the
audience sat in stony silence as all the rest applauded.  As was asked
earlier by a member of this list, why do people want to support and
cheer on a system that is so lopsided and acts so arbitrarily?  Why
the opposition to ensuring a fair shake for all?  The answer is in the
money trail, and that was my original point that you seemingly
objected to.
