It is far easier to care about the results of next week's football game than it is to care about civil rights or the effect of encroaching governmental control of citizen's private lives. Modern mass media makes it possible to invest as little effort as possible in forming one's own opinion. And audiences make it much more profitable to spoon feed facts, figures, and watered down opinions than to speak the harsh truth. Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. You, me, all of us have disgraced ourselves and our ancestors by allowing this society to give up the reigns of government to an elite few.
People complain that government is corrupt.
If government is corrupt, then it is YOU who are allowing it to happen. It is you who are electing criminals, liars, and thugs. What they vote for is the status quo. How things are. They are voting for everything in society that makes them angry, whether it be sexism, racism, gun laws, or hate crimes.
