The "town hall" discussions of health reform that members of Congress have tried to hold during their recess have clearly been sabotaged, making rational discussion impossible. Some of them have turned downright dangerous, as angry constituents showed up with loaded guns! So here's my modest proposal: End the congressional recess now. Not only would that avoid all the heat and anger of the town hall meetings, but then Congress would also have more time to work on climate-change legislation, the budget, and other bills, as well as health reform.
