WHAT'S this? You try to ask your health insurance office a question and you get arrested — while on your cell phone to their customer service? Only in America? Or maybe also in Communist China, the right wing's favorite "market economy"?

    While this is disheartening, let's be fair:

    The man in question was asked to leave the PRIVATE premises. He was not on public property. He refused the request of the business, AND the request of the police.

    What did he expect to happen?

    Of course he wanted to make a point, which is why he went to the data center rather than picking up the phone.

    Dumb to arrest him (though these days I don't expect much intelligence from corporations), but equally dumb to go to a non-headquarters office and demand answers while standing on private property.

    Heck he should have gone with his friends and picketed on the public sidewalk in front of the office. Of course that wouldn't have gotten the kind of solid gold press his arrest did...

    Call me cynical, but while I condemn Anthem, I also look askance at the tactics of the arrested gentleman.

    No innocents in this picture.
