I really wonder at the emotional maturity of a good portion of our society as a whole. I've argued with 85 year old grandmothers that bitch and complain about their pensions, the cost of living - but when asked if they voted in the last election, it's as if you'd asked them if they were selling their bodies on the streetcorners. NO! Of course NOT -- WHY SHOULD I? is usually the answer.
Until we're ready to stop the knee-jerk *We're Number One* baloney and grow UP in a very real sense about WHO we are and WHY we are not the center of the universe -- we're screwed.
