- Gore Vidal visited the Henry Rollins show and said (paraphrasing), "one day, the people will rise w/ anger at the atrocities of our politicians." Something like that =)
I really want to believe that. As long as folks can gorge at buffets, bop to their iPods and live it up lavishly in Vegas, there's not much grumblin' that's gonna happen. Seriously, the States has much more than a plethora of nations and Americans shouldn't complain, right?
It's human nature to complain. So are the liberals just griping or is it a legitimate complaint that our education and healthcare programs plain out suck? The same lefties claim that the right keep poor folks uneducated, to keep them poor. I think they (the corporations, the aristocrats) just don't have enough financial incentives to help w/ social problems. ROI: return on investment. When money can be made, then they'll give a fuck.
As long as US citizens remain docile, complacent with their 500 channel satellite systems, Nintendo Wiis and grande non-fat soy lattes, I doubt anyone will start doubting our government and the corrupted system we Americans live in.
Or it could be me watching too many lefty, independent shows. I must fair and balance myself =) -

: haha, this flash animation from a Mexican social/political-related flash animations site sums it up pretty well, I love it and your post reminded me of it. It's titled "The never-ending cycle":
