Early reports from the August 17 health care town hall meeting indicate that the pro-reform activists are outnumbering the other side by more than two to one. Their side continues to look anti-democratic and fanatic; our side continues to look like reasonable people hoping for serious discussions and a positive resolution to the health care crisis. The next opportunity is Wednesday night, August 19. Remember to stay calm and let the hooligans look like what they are.
