APATHY

It was interesting to watch the people in Egypt who displayed great energy in their quest to overthrow a de facto Dictator. Really, it is probably not in the best interest of the US or the Israelis, but good for them... Until they had "won" and the tyrant was deposed. Now comes the realization that the people still have no power to determine their fates and are becoming subject to another set of rulers that they will probably not be able to control any more than the last one.

Then, I said to myself, "I sure am lucky to be living here in the US" But wait, ask yourself this; How free are we, in reality? The answer is quite disquieting. The few freedoms that we have are being eroded by the Government to the point of being almost non existent. And, even worse, few, if any of us are questioning this. One person that I talked with, had the attitude that shows that we are helpless and without any control over our futures. Besides, If I really wanted to express myself or change the Government, I am probably too old to make a difference or, at any rate, see the results of any change before I die!

Thus, demonstrates the attitude of APATHY. So, I intend to voice my opinions and still attempt to see changes in acted.
