I have been thinking about those quivering masses too. I think it comes from being on the dole. You just want that dole and nothing else matters, or you want the promise of the dole. It is like Social Security and people here,,you mention it and they react and vote for whatever demogogue promises them the most. Nothing else is important. I guess it is like a pacifier.

Funny. Marx always said it was religion that was the opiate of the people, but he was way off. The Romans were more correct. They said it "Bread and Circuses"
