Garrison Keilor does it again ("Despite the screaming, common sense will prevail," Jan. 20)! Maybe in November, when the elections are over and Sen. Harry Reid and his so-called patient souls are out in the cold, the Democrats will finally get it. The American people do not want government run health care. The American people are also tired of the reckless spending and Chicago style politcs that we have in Washington right now. If you put your coffee cup down and think about it, Mr. Keillor, there are ways to fix health care without spending billions of dollars and without having government running it. Why don't you listen to us patient tea drinkers before your coffee gets cold?
