I almost get tired of quoting Winston so much but he was just damn good!
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
I guess I shouldn't say that most Americans are stupid, it's just that they do not give a damn until something hits home. Pearl Harbor pissed us off, 9/11 pissed us off, but now that 9/11 has faded, we are back to not caring until, in the future, we get hit again.

Agreed not stupid just short sighted and wishful thinkers...I almost hate to do it but both my children and wife watch the news with me and see for themselves how crazy the world really is...it really hits home in my sons eyes when he sees the video that is played over and over alot of a truck bomb on an Iraqi freeway going off and a guy walking down the road by it narrowly escaping.
The world is a seriouly F!#@$%ed up place and I'd rather they see it for what it really is....they, "my children", also continually point out alot of good ,watching Animal Planet how people rescue animals and Discovery and How it's made...there still is Good left or it would all be bad...
the Good is what's worth the fight.
