"This Time, We Won’t Scare."

Writes Nicholas D. Kristof in a column Obama's health care reform that's topped the NYT most-emailed list for the last couple days.

Somehow, in the Clinton era, we as a nation freaked out about heath care reform, but this time — this time — we'll swallow our government-dosed medicine.

Kristof is all: "In 1993, the 'Harry and Louise' commercials frightened Americans into abandoning health reform. Let’s ensure those scare tactics don’t work this time." Well, what about lull tactics? If those work, there's no do-over.
