How to beat the mob mentality?

I keep seeing on the news how people have resorted to thuggary amd mob tactics in cities around the country protesting Health care reform.
I also noticed and have seen first hand that most of these angry citizens are seniors. Don't they realize that the younger generation will be wiping their a**es in a few years, when they can't do it themselves anymore.
I don't understand why they are hurting themselves by protesting about heathcare reform when they are all on Medicare already run by the government.

Susan Summers book says that because of long term use of Blood thinners and cholesteral drugs, it is going to lead to wide spread dementia.

Ya Think?????

You never said how to beat it. Or did you? I assume you are talking about senior citizens that are protesting about health care reform when already have medicare. Oh I have read it over and again and I don't get it Ringo.

i think what he is saying is there is no way to beat it. even senior citizens can be overcome with mob rule. I mean these were the people that raised us to be polite and do what the teacher says. what? Be a shining example. screw Alzheimer's. I say they are using it as a crutch to somehow get away with these shenanigans. stop acting like teenage thugs and get back in your rockers where you belong.

These are the same role models that spit at Michael Jacksons grave.:iagree:

They have shown their true colors of fear, hatred, racism and authoritarianism.

We do not want to be these people. We rebelled in the 1950's over rock and roll, but only half made the journey. These are the same people that called rock and roll ni**er music. These are the same people that said they would never buy a computer. It's time to hold our chests out to the old guard. No more hate and fear.
Peace love and understanding is the NEW WORLD ORDER.

im an advocate for our local senior center and was it administrator for a year some time ago ... im not saying all seniors are this way.....I'm a beginning senior myself.... most really do buck change and all they need is to be told by someone that something is bad for them and they will be on it like "flies on a turd" (i got that phrase from one of them so I do feel they have great attributes not limited to catch phrases) ...... and once they feel unsure then they resist to be resistant..... trust me we will all be here.....some of us sooner than others and when my time comes im looking forward to being taken care of (it has been so long!).......... my beef is more with the political faction behind their becoming concerned over this...i dispise hate but not as much as i dispise haters using manipulation of the innocent to wield their swords ..... so many things are not what they seem ...please take the time to realise who the real bad guys are here...
