26. It will probably take a total collapse to generate any substantive change. The message
the vast majority are hearing is the message of the corporate media. We who use alternative media sources such as DU are in a tiny minority of Americans.

"The people" are consumed with self-interest. We care more about the outcome of a sports competition than we do about what is going on in our government. We were given the greatest gift a people could be given when the Founders created this system of government, yet two-thirds of Americans can't even name their Senators and Representatives.

Just sayin'.
