aren't conditioned to take their grievances to the streets. Imagine millions descending on Washington to demand single payer or an end to corporate bailouts or justice for the Bush Crime Family. Nah, they're home watching American Idol and just glad a bill collector hasn't been impertinent enough to interrupt their viewing.
Americans eat shit sandwiches daily without complaint. I have no idea what it would take to get the people of this country riled up enough to band together and demand change, but I can't see it happening anytime soon.
