Comments on: Zombies seek human flesh, health care reform at meeting tonight http://trueslant.com/leeannmaton/2009/08/31/zombies-seek-human-flesh-health-care-reform-at-meeting-tonight/ [Please go to 'Settings' to change your Tagline] Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:39:29 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: LeeAnn Maton http://trueslant.com/leeannmaton/2009/08/31/zombies-seek-human-flesh-health-care-reform-at-meeting-tonight/comment-page-1/#comment-30 LeeAnn Maton Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:46:42 +0000 http://trueslant.com/leeannmaton/?p=147#comment-30 Thanks for the comment, misterb. In researching this post, I asked my horror movie-loving roommate exactly that -- how do you deal with a zombie apocalypse? He also said that ending them quickly was the only chance for mankind's survival, preferrably by destroying the brain. (Me: "So...you decapitate them?" Him: "Yeah. That or a well-placed shot to the brain. Or a pitchfork or something." Me: "...How do you know all this stuff?") I think the point the protesters are trying to make is that they can be just as outlandish as some of the folks on the anti- healthcare reform side and in doing so, garner just as much attention. Michael Preston's T/S page had a great post about this very topic yesterday, asking why pro-healthcare reformers aren't getting as much media attention. I think the lesson here is clear: Go zombie.

I'm not sure how applicable that is to healthcare, but I appreciate the sentiment. It’s been mathematically proven: the only way to fight zombies is by blowing them all away (google zombie math).
