When the president chooses NOT to listen to the other 2 branches and noone does anything but bitch, moan and complain or are afraid to, he can do anything he wants.
When apathy and nonchalance run rampant and people are more worried about just making enough to pay bills and the educational system is broken so kids aren't truly taught their rights and that they have voices, no one will stand up.
When noone tries to fix it or everyone expects someone else to fix it...... nothing will ever happen.
When the press feeds the people Paris, Lindsay, missing rich white women, American Idol, etc. and skims what truly needs attention, no one really can see what needs done.
When talking heads bully, pound chests, talk about how people who disagree are idiotic and throw negativity out in a way that makes them look like they know more and are "the voices of reason" and they have nothing but callers on that agree (those that disagree get silenced and ridiculed and taken off fast)..... people tend to believe that person must know something and is more intelligent on the subject than they so they will only do what that talking head tells them to, will only believe what that talking head tells them to believe and will tune out what they don't want to see.
There's plenty more excuses..... pick yours.
