I totally respect and understand where you are coming from Patti. And I'm truly afraid that the lack of protest we see is not from apathy but the sheer frustration of being overwhelmed by bad news.

People that would normally be outraged and flooding the streets in protest are simply shutting down and going into self-preservation mode. Is this new for Americans? Have we ever laid down when we should have stood up? Americans are becoming more like Saddam-era Iraqis or Communist-era Soviets... be quiet, don't make waves, do the best with what you got and hope that it will all be over soon.
