Too bad the lemmings won't wake up until an event 10 times worse than 9-11 occurs. If then. I'm not as optimistic as you are. The next 9/11 style event will send this country into a total frenzy. The main reason why there were no riots at the grocery stores and banks was because nothing like it had ever been seen before. Think about it. If you told someone ten years ago that a well organized, terrorist group could pull off hijacking four commercial airliners (or more...God knows how many didn't get off the ground when the FAA closed all air traffic), turn them into guided missiles and use them to completely level the World Trade Center and over 20% of the Pentagon...people would look at you like you just peed on their flower bed.
No, people have had two years to contemplate how bad the next attack will be.

I'll leave you with one thought. If a semi full of 40 Mexicans can make it 300 miles inside the US border (Victoria, TX), then how hard would it be to smuggle a well shielded 500 kt yield nuclear device 150 miles into Los Angeles or Phoenix? No, the people are in denial. They won't acknowledge the threat, just as they will not not acknowledge the economic problems. Until they get burned, they will continue to play with fire. The last 5 years was not a lesson. It was an episode of "24" in the sheeple's minds. My fear is that our lax attitudes towards border security, bank security, ethics in business, and the inability of the sheeple to vote out liars will cost this nation 200,000 dead and a collapsed economy.
