There is, however a silver lining behind this very dark cloud. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Don't be embarrassed if you've never heard of it, there really isn't a hell of a lot to remember about it; a mere pittance, really - a scrap of leftovers tossed out to "American Negros" (in the parlance of the age) in order to appease them. But it made the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the one we remember - all-the-more easier seven years later. We'll live to fight another day. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom Degan Goshen, NY I don’t know what kind of health care reform will come out of this session, but I strongly suspect it won’t be much.
