Uncaring fools

Regarding the health care summit: Consider Abraham Lincoln's classic quote, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Obviously many senators and members of Congress do not heed that advice, as evidenced by their remarks during the health care meeting. Some of them are pitiful, not only in their foolish remarks, but also in their uncaring statements regarding the possible recipients of health care relief.

The lack of compassion especially among the younger members was both disheartening and disgusting.
