Albert Einstein was right when he said, "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." Furthermore, I believe that we have reached the point of such moral degeneration that not only is there little hope of things getting better or even maintaining, but I almost look forward to the pain and suffering of all who embraced the evil with their indifference and willing ignorance.
Americans are selfish, materialistic, apathetic, narrow-minded, arrogant, lazy, pathetic drones. The majority are mental slaves, automatons. Trying to inform and motivate Americans to better themselves is like trying to talk a drunk out of going to the bar; it's a waste of time. I often ask drunks, "What will it take? How bad does it have to get?" Many of them have to die; most of them are not coming out of it. Americans are the same way; it will take a tragedy of massive proportions, and even then, many will still keep their heads so far up their asses they will still fail to change.
I can hardly bear to listen to the political opinions of those who blame the two-party system, the need for campaign finance reform, and double-talking candidates who lack integrity. These same people continue to re-elect incumbents, vote within the two parties when provided alternatives on the ballot, and rarely donate to those they truly support.
We also have those who blame our Presidents and or Congress. Someone ought to tell these morons that our government is elected by the people and is a direct representation of the morality of our society. We are not a virtuous society; therefore, we do not elect virtuous Representatives. We don't educate ourselves to make positive and rational decisions regarding our country's policymakers, the very people who are to defend our freedoms.
"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves. If we think they are not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."-- Thomas Jefferson
