The assault (from last Thursday) disturbs me. The casual mockery by pro-health care rationing supporters towards a man (who I haven’t even fully confirmed was a health care rationing protester) who’s just gotten punched in the face disturbs me a whole lot more.

I wonder what type of heath insurance or benefits MTV provides? I realize it will forever be cool to stand up to your parents and oppose them as long as pop culture champions individuals over families populating communities and keeping them safe, but it does seem so odd to not hear a peep out of Diddy Puffy Baby Daddy or Real World drunks in gutters or Road Rulz suckers injured and treated in foreign hospitals?
