2. I'm speaking in a broader sense. "We" are the American people.
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 10:45 AM by MercutioATC
Sure, there are individuals who have done little to contribute to our current situation...there are some that have actively worked against it.

...but the vast majority of Americans are self-indulgent. They want bread and circuses all of the time and blame others when the people they cede their authority to take advantage of them.

Until people take responsibility for their actions (or inaction), nothing is going to change. The people's aversion to responsibility is the root of the problem.
