    Great post.

    Not much fun to travel in the U.S.A., but I believe that some blame must go to Americans as a whole themselves. In France, people would be on the streets (and conversely there are strikes for the rights of workers, which while inconvenient, are necessary.)

    Democracy is a privilege and not a right and I believe that Americans are not protesting sufficiently for their rights (from economic issues to transportation issues to political issues). With less than 50% participation in voting, is it any wonder that the government and corporations get away with anything they want?
