Agreed to both of the above posts. Our culture has become more obsessed with reality tv and an attitude of nonchalance. One day we will wake up to find ourselves completely enslaved to our government and unable to being self reliant people.

Read the list of complaints against the King that are in the Declaration of Independence. Look at how many are in effect AGAINST the American citizen TODAY. And those complaints were the BASIS for a revolution. But we are supposed to endure those same conditions today and just say "oh well"? As Thomas Paine said, "Time makes more converts than reason". And time is marching quickly......
