53. "Disourage people from participating..."
I think it's worse than that. So many people don't have a sense of ownership about their own government. They act as if we the citizens of the United States are merely some kind of employee of this corporate nation.

They see Bush, (and especially Reagan!!!) as some kind of boss. They can't wrap their minds around the notion that we can "fire" a boss, and that it is within our rights to evaluate and question, and if need be, legally obstruct and hinder everything a President does.

George W. Bush works for me. If I was the only boss here in the United States I would fire his ass and bring him up on charges. In a just world I believe George W. Bush would be in prison. Since I'm not the only boss here, I will do everything I can to convince my fellow bosses, the U.S. voters, that George W. Bush is not competent to be President, and I will do everything I can legally do to obstruct and hinder George W. Bush from handing control of this nation over to his corporate masters.

We need to get out in public and convince the "average voter" that George W. Bush does not have their interests at heart, and we need to remind the average voter that this nation belongs to them, "We the People..."
