You make a good point - most people don't have time. They've debased our currency so bad that prices are high enough to the point that 2 people need an income to maintain a household. Keep an economy on the brink - not too bad, and not too good - and a population is going to have a very hard time resisting.

With the state of our economy and this war that has bankrupted us, people are going to have to slow down a little, do some serious thinking and make educated informed decisions.

I know that's not always as easy as it sounds. Most people are working 2 jobs just to stay afloat, but it would be in their own best interests to get informed, think and then act, rather than be sold so quickly on soundbites and cliches.-

The arms race of the cold war wasn't so much a race to arms as it was a race to bankruptcy. Fortunately for us, the Soviets won! Now it loks like we are the ones that are winning. How can a handful of terrorists do so much damage to us at so little cost to themselves? I guess they know how to draw us in,eh?

The terrorists are not rich and powerful, like us. They try to get as much mileage as they can from a few dramatic acts of terror (that's what terrorism is). The reason there has not been "another 911" is we are doing a good job, all by ourselves, of extending the "mileage" from the first one. Which of them ever imagined they would be elevated to the number-one feared enemy of the world's greatest military power? By creating a trillion dollar war against them, we have inflated their importance and amplified their effect. You can bet they will attempt another attack once we have stoped bleeding from the last one.

That has been the plan ever since Reagan started the trickle-up effect (40% of americans lost their savings and became net debtors during his administration).

If you have no economic independence, then you are easy meat for the propagandists who try to distract you with "culture wars" and get you to blame those even worse off than you while the super-rich fleece Americans. It's called yachts for the boys and strict calvinistic poverty for the rest.
