As long as football is broadcast on television and Budweiser or some other inexpensive beer is available to the average American, you will see no outrage. Let's see, I can watch the series of American Chopper this afternoon, while relaxing, or I can read up on a politician and get all pissed off....

I know, I know, Smilin Joe, but my question is: why is this true? Why don't more Americans care about what is happening? Call me naive, I guess, but I am a child of the 60s and back then we took to the streets....why not now?

Apathy is a monster.

:nono1: Now you know the gov't doesn't like outrage and people standing up to the gov't. ;-)
