Well, i am not shy about pushing people's buttons on the economy and political scene, and something interesting has happened in the last two weeks. It is not that people are disgusted with the "leadership" and the wealthy. It is not that they feel inadequately represented in gov't. People have consistently felt this for as long as i'd asked them questions reflecting their opinions and feelings since the economy was shot by the wealthy and their idiot lap-dogs in the legislatures of nation and state.
It doesn't matter if the person asked is republican, democrat, or otherwise. No one trusts gov't. and no one feels hopeful about their future. People don't believe in the old American Dream, or the new subverted american dream - to be rich no matter how many have to be hurt to get you there.
What is vastly different is that in the last couple of weeks, basically since the news has talked about the unrest in the muslim world and the revolutions in Libya, Egypt, and the middle east, people have been saying things like; "someone needs to burn down the homes of the oil executives.", or several variations on the theme of "we are not going to take this much longer."
That is a huge change. People of the upstanding middle class are mad. They are seeing the futility of getting an appropriate response from our gov't., and they are seeing the possibility of an uprising against the injustice that is now prevalent in America, the U.S.
Wake up, big boys. It doesn't matter if you are a trillionaire; if a farmer doesn't sell you your food you will starve. Perhaps rightly so.
