The question, Do we have the backbone today to do this?

The short answer is No we do not.

The soccer Moms are far too busy watching Oprah, and stretching their necks to gather any intel about what Tom Cruise or other worthless celebrity-types are doing today.

The viagra Dads are too busy trying to get it up and keep it up, to notice anything else going on in the world.

The snot-nosed Kids are busy chasing after what the kids next door has, to even have a clue.

In short, as a society we are too self-absorbed to care about anything other than when our next instant gratification will arrive. Amerika has become a collective couch potato. The politicians know it, both parties by the way. The tyrants on the Bench know it full well too. That is why they can make these sort of rulings. They know there is no-one to stop them.

exactly.


We have as a nation become tooooo complacent.

A scathing commentary on modern American culture and will Buffalo Bob. It really pisses me off that I agree with you. All those "NEVER FORGET" banners that were hung in NY after 9-11 have been forgotten as well. If that didn't wake us up...nothing will.
