We are apathetic, b/c we are tired. It doesn't seem to matter how much we complain or protest anymore, most issues only seem get worse. Fact is, there is almost no accountability to the people any longer. And the powers that be know it. Worse, they have the general population divided so strongly between right and left that it almost seems like a civil war is on the verge of breaking out. Again, the powers that be know it --they actually encourage it so they can use it to do whatever they want. How much longer can we go on this way? I'm half a mind to say we just end the charade, dissolve the federal government and replace it with a simple joint economic and security treaty between the states.

Fact is, there is almost no accountability to the people any longer. And the powers that be know it. So the voters are in fact, weaker than the lobbyists? Didn't the internet defeat SOPA through a large coordinated campaign?

>We are apathetic, b/c we are tired. No. Americans are apathetic because they are one of the most brainwashed peoples of the planet [1], perhaps after North Koreans. There are exceptions to this and some few Americans are very enlightened indeed. >They have the general population divided so strongly between right and left that it almost seems like a civil war is on the verge of breaking out. Yes - divide and rule. Think Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria(...). The same sociopaths that run US politics, own the banks, and energy giants have always thrived by creating inner conflicts within exploitable countries [2]. Meanwhile the people fight themselves instead of pushing out the imperialists. Those that run the USA are clearly preparing for an internal civil war [3]. How it will happen and when - who knows. But i can sure tell you that the amount of US flags behind Obama in his most recent NSA speech was alarming and resembled some Nazi era nationalist/fascist appeal. Scary.

  You're right. This is indeed an alarming number of flags. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/01/17/obama_nsa_speech_the_unretouched_photos.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/01/17/obama_nsa_spe...
