People are throwing BRICKS through the windows of our elected senators for having the GALL to vote their conscience, and represent their constituencies, on the Health Bills?

Had I thrown a brick through the campaign office window of any one who didn't vote the way I wanted them to over the past 8 years, A: I'd have run out of bricks, and B: I'd probably have been arrested as a domestic terrorist. I suppose I can take this as a sign of progress?

Way to support the Government, Americans. Let's show the rest of the world we reallY ARE a bunch of petulant children when we don't get our way.

Well, "the world" pretty much already acts this way. But not the parts of "the world" that we really want to emulate.

No, anyone who vandalizes should be jailed, and if they make the mistake of saying that it's for political reasons, they should be tried as terrorists.

This is just as bad as the "anti-corporationists" who threw bricks thru the windows of Starbucks and McDonalds during the anti-IMF and anti-G8 protests.

Exactly. We are, it seems, trying to turn into the parts of the world that we used to mock when we saw news clips of them on TV.

I'm inclined to agree. Peaceful demonstrations are one thing, but once the actions reach the level where they jeopardize life and limb (throwing bricks, cutting gas lines at people's homes), try them as terrorists.
