I've noticed that when something goes awry in western Europe, they protest a lot more intensely than we do here in the states. The current G20 protests are just an example. There is no peaceful sour faced, scornful brushing-off of big bank executives in England. The crowds burn, break, spray paint, and really draw attention. I don't necessarily support it, but I will admit that it is effective, and sometimes necessary. If only our populace were as passionate, maybe issues could be addressed before they spiral into the disaster they have become. Unfortunately, our country is insanely apathetic.

You all suck. The link I posted was originally a link to a Rick roll, but no one fell for it. My April fools plan backfired. It is now linked to the Guardian's coverage of the G20 events.
My fellow countrymen have lost their spine. The idea that someone else will fix their problems has become an epidemic among the American people. No one is prepared to stand anymore.
dude, you got some serious international spam action going on there.
Hey, do you think that guy is angry?
And why would our country's citizens get all up in arms over ill-conceived and deceitful wars and poor conservative policies that lead to economic ruin when they have the latest results of Dancing with the Stars and gay marriage to get riled up over?
I've left comments all down your blog, just so you know.
