Reply #17: They're not the problem

Actually, none of their crimes bother me in the way the question is looking for. They bother me in the same way the crimes of Richard Speck or Charles Manson bother me.

What REALLY bothers me is the mass of Americans who continue to support them. THEY are the ones I hold responsible for our current situation, as without them, the neocons would be as fringe, and as influential, as, say, Technocracy or the Libertarians.

In particular, the ones still driving cars, the ones still working for global corporations, the ones who still consume mass media, the ones agitating for more cheap plastic stuff from China, the businessmen agitating for more corporate control - ESPECIALLY the small business people who think that corporations are on their side and people aren't...

What matters at this point isn't really what anyone SAYS, it's what they spend the hours of their days doing, and what larger tasks and goals they are working for, whether they understand and share them or not.
