Actually if you ever get a chance you need to read Alexis de Tocqueville's Democray in America.
He travelled the country for nine months in 1861 and predicted the people of the US were too busy to pay much attention to what was going on around them. He predicted tyranny would rule this country once again as we would trade our liberty for security. As we were a people who were too busy to protect our rights and we would eventually lose them. Thus we have over the years. And NO ONE was really paying attention after the first generation of citizens who lived through the American Revolution died off.
Great advice! Great Read!!
Yes, a sad state we are in and most people are going to do nothing until their bellies growl and half their family is dead.
