3. Welcome to DU, Paul! I live in one of the most apathetic areas of this country, NW PA.
I appreciate your persistence in trying to awaken the citizens, but wonder if there is anything that will cause the masses to rise to the point where we cannot be ignored any longer. I've been to two marches in DC, on a broken ankle without a cast and with one at separate times, could only find one person, both times to march.

Most choose to remain ignorant, their day to day struggles blind them to any solutions and most I've spoken with claim, "There's nothing I can do about it.", and want to hear no more.

I've been trying to awaken the rural masses here for many years and have been abused by drunken "patriots" in my driveway screaming at me for the yard/car signs and lttes. I've been called a traitor many times.

Thank you for all your works. It's a pleasure to see you posting here. :hi:
