YOU gotta wonder what it takes for the LIV’s to wake up?
When Nixon's downfall began, an unpopular war was ending, but the US economy was in (relatively) poor shape. The unemployment rate was lower than it has been under Obama -- but there was less "free stuff" for the masses ("bread and circuses" = food stamps and Obamaphones). As was the case in the Roman Empire, I'm afraid that the LIVs may never wake up, even when the barbarians are in the streets sacking the cities.
