Fascism, Health Care and our national media It's odd how we seem to be a nation of frogs.  You know the old story.  If you put a frog in a pot of room temperature water and set it on the stove and turn on the heat, the frog will stay and eventually die when the water becomes too hot for him to survive.  However, if you have hot water on the stove and you drop a frog in it, he will immediately jump out.  Sometimes I think we are a nation of frogs; we sit while the water boils around us and eventually it's going to kill our liberty and freedoms.
