I don't think Americans are all for the common good, or all Americans. I think Americans don't demonstrate because of the threat of violence from our government. Historically our government has had very little trouble putting down our little demonstrations with violence. I seem to recall Posse Comitatus has been overturned recently... Maybe in anticipation?
