I've pretty much stopped debating on this subject. For the following reason.
It's like trying to talk a guy out of sawing his own head off. Anyone stupid enough to think that that was a good idea in the first place is almost certainly too stupid to understand my arguments as to why this is
not a good idea.
So, hey, Americans, if you're dumb enough to think that there shouldn't be a public option, feel free to saw your own heads off. If you've really made up your minds to do that, I don't see that there's anything that I can say to dissuade you.
