Open the Gates: #DeOccupyConfirmationBias

So, there I am, at the gym—teaching someone how to torque her hips into a left hook—when I hear the griping about health care…a worthy subject of complaint, for sure. Then comes the punch line: “I’d get better treatment if I wasn’t an American,” the griper declared. “The immigrants come here, don’t pay taxes, and exploit the system. Me?
