There has never been a populace as fat, comfortable, passively entertained and unused to sustained physical labor as our populace. I’m not expecting a lot of real outrage over mere political enormities until the societal conditions change.

Very true. It typically takes some kind of life altering event to change peoples’ minds and attitudes owning to things like wars, economic deprivation, contagion, famine, etc. Very serious problems are festering but we are too comfortable and distracted to bother demanding that they be addressed. Most people simply don’t care.

Its difficult to imagine what it may take to alarm such a passive populace.
