I get it, now.

I finally understand why support is falling for the health care reform as proposed. It's because you guys managed to elect the most cowardly bunch of idiots in the history of politics to do it for you. And it's not your fault - because the party that should have been doing it, not only didn't do it, but probably messed it up so badly that no one else will ever get the chance to do it right.

They should have gone for single-payer from the outset and then SETTLED for a robust public option. Now? Totally, completely fucked.

And this isn't even the traditional busing method where kids from this neighborhood go to this school across town. Kids are assigned to schools based on a hierarchy list each parent sends in (which you can only list 2 schools in your geographic area...you have to list 4 schools in the other part of town). So literally, you could have 10 third-graders in the same neighborhood going to 10 different elementary schools (of which there are 89 to choose from!). CRAZY INSANE.
