Saddly this is our own fault! Too many americans have an "Its not my responibility" attitude towards almost everything! Its a dangerous and selfish attitude to have.
If you dont watch who and what go's on around you that eventualy has a very bad end result that is not in your favor!
There was a time in this countries history when it was considered and honerable and very nessisary part of life to take a direct participation in how your society was ran. If a bad mayor was elected for your town he got the boot or worse! If a local business was corrupt and crooked it got ran out of town too! If a business was just poorly ran someone would start a competing business and run them out too!
Now we blindly elect whoever looks good on camera and never actauly check to see if they are a good person or are actualy qualifed to do the job. We just say "That's not MY responsibility!"
If a business is corrupt and crooked we just say, We know your corrupt and crooked and something should be done about it but "That's not MY responsibility"!
If a business is poorly ran and cant stand on its own instead of encouraging compitition and actualy getting better products for less we just give them more money and say; wWe dont like your junk, we dont like how you do things and someone really should do something about it but "That's not MY responsibility!"
Our inaction and passing our resonsibility onto others is what got us where we are at now!
You reap what you sew. You did not participate in who was being ellected and how the government and big business were ran and now look what you are getting back from it! Exactly what you put into it, Nothing!
Now you hate what is happening and want something done about it, but hey, "Its not YOUR responsibility!"
