Change, or more of the same?

When will it ever change? People keep listening to political drivel and other excuses and rationalities for why the current state of affairs is not what we want it to be. The only way that things are going to change is when the People (or individuals that are in that group) finally get disgusted enough to get up and DO SOMETHING...

From all appearances, most Americans are comatose and totally complacent with the status quo. They have no energy to put down the remote control or get out of the Laz-y-Boy chair while watching Dancing With the Stars. I'm beginning to wonder if Americans have the mental and/or physical capacity to demand freedom. It appears that the desire for it has 'left the building' years ago. Jefferson once said that freedom required eternal vigilance if you want to keep it. This isn't a nation of vigilant people, unless you're talking about watching television or seeking entertainment.

I don't mean to sound like a total pessimist because I know of many Americans who are sick and tired of communist government officials foisting their socialist agendas upon the country, and are working to fight against it. Even if they're just fighting for their own freedom from government intervention, it is bigger fight than just an individual fight. Every battle against tyranny is for all people, especially those who are not yet born. We owe it to our future generations to fight for freedom and against tyranny so that our offspring may experience freedom. It is probably the most precious thing that one could have, because life has little meaning without it.
