I spent some time on the internet looking at pictures and watching townhall meetings on the topic of health care reform. I offer some generalizations: most of the videos are by those who oppose health care reform; pictures and videos show people addressing a congressperson, though the crowd is the center of attention; in the videos, you hear better the crowd than the congressperson’s response; most of the people in the townhall; they show manifestations of anger: yelling, finger pointing, p
