Reply #7: Yes, it is very complicated

[Time for change]

It is true that Reagan and Bush and their compatriots have done a great deal of damage.

The point that I'm trying to make in my OP is that too many Americans do not object to what is done in their name. They have this rosy picture of their country that they're fed by the media, they accept it unquestionably, and that perpetuates the terrible things that are done in their name.

Our elections are a case in point. Many of us are very upset about the fact that our votes are counted in secret and therefore so susceptable to fraud. But too many don't care. They believe that because we are "the land of the free", our elections are safe, and we need not worry about it. Therefore, complaints about stolen elections are somewhat of a taboo subject, and there isn't enough done to correct the situation. It is an outrage that private corporations get to count our votes in secret. It is an outrage that elections are stolen and Congress will not even consider investigating them -- even a Democratic Congress. Americans need to question their government a lot more than they do.
