The United States is a virtual powder Keg with a slow burning fuse. It has been the underlying opinion that is spoken of in hushed tones, in barbershops, bars, and lodge meetings across this country. The painful perception is that Government has grown so big, so unreachable, that the ordinary citizen has no chance to influence it. Even those with clout and political persuasion such as state senators, representatives, even governors can't even make an Impact because the plan is already in place. The plan to slowly remove the freedoms of the people.
Protests seem to be the thing of the past.
No one believes that their freedoms are slowly being stripped away, because they have remained in the false sense of security that comes with a government that has all the answers. A government that creates their own dragons to slay, a government that looks good on television. They are brainwashed into thinking that voting is the only course of action to remove those who are not doing their jobs. They are sadly mistaken. The reason this paranoid view has been handed down from generation to generation is because something doesn't feel right.
