I don't think it's Americans don't care; they don't think there is much they can do...they choose to be complicit. For instance, why is Bush in office when his approval rating is so long? I thought we adopted one of John Locke's philosophies: If the people don't agree with the government, they have the choice to overrule that government and replace it with a new one. But I guess that eroded over the years. I admit...there are some things I don't realized, but I do my best to research what I can. I know a good majority of the people running for President...as for what they stand for...many of them choose to "flip flop," so it's confusing. I, too, feel like there is nothing I can do. It's me against the government. Maybe this will change in the future, but until then...Americans will choose to remain complicit. I agree with many of your points.
