You make a series of excellent points. Although, and It seems you might not like it, I consider myself a moderate. I guess that must mean I'm the worst of all worlds. I tend not to believe that since I believe justice is not inevitable, that it needs movement by the hands of people. However, sometimes, well intentioned movement can cause unintended negative consequences. Sometimes those consequences can be worse than the original problem. Southeast asian Communism is one such example. Cuban Communism is another. It's the actions of impetuous people that effect the greatest change. But it also means that those hurried reformers are the greatest saviors AND the greatest villains of our world. They are so convinced of their righteousness that they are often blind to the consequences. That's my opinion at least. Wonderfully written article. I actually had never thought of the health care debate in quite those terms before. I’m somewhat apolitical, but I managed to read this whole thing with rapt attention.
