I have to say I'm not surprised there are death threats against congressional members over this healthcare legislation. The American people did not want this.
My feelings on this are conflicted for several reasons. One, killing is wrong in this instance, we can't have a democratic republic if we simply kill the people we disagree with. It's no longer a free land. Democracy requires that the majority rule which means we don't get our way all the time. On the other hand, the majority of Americans do not want this at all and if a government simply refuses to listen to the people and uses democracy against them to take away their freedoms against their will, what recourse do a people have? It can't continue like this without being on a collision course between the power of the government and the will of the people.
Now there are lawsuits against the healthcare as being unconstitutional (It is unconstitutional) and the Republicans have managed to set the legislation up for a vote to return to the house of representatives so that this must be voted on again.....I'm curious what will happen and I hope it doesn't pass.
