I suppose one good thing about Jacko’s death is that it has overwhelmed the political rhetoric around health care for a few days. Or at least it has tamped it down.
In fact it has really quieted pretty much all of politics as well as anything else either newsworthy or masquerading as news. We’ve sort of replaced one stink with another, in a refreshing kind of way….
The battle that is taking place inside the Beltway is not, nor is it going to be, a pretty one. We can only hope and/or pray politics gets pushed far enough to the side to allow some light to come through, and for some decent ideas and policies to push through the morass.
The question that keeps rolling around in my noggin’ is whether, at the end of this debate around health care, we will have witnessed the very best of American politics or the very worst. And by that, I don’t mean the debate itself. That is nothing but butt ugly. I’m talking about the end result.
To that end, I recommend that anyone who reads this post, make some noise. Do what you can to be heard. Help be part of the collective roar. This Jacko thing is not going to last forever, and when it quiets we need to fill the void with our voices.
