    I 'spose we do. You can't force anyone to see anything and people are so selfish that they really dont care as long they have their comfort no matter how false it really is.

    But if this were true, no social change would ever happen. And it does ... Albeit slowly at times. People have the capacity for altruism ... However buried it may be, especially in times of great strife.

    Exactly! And that hasn't came yet.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    People haven't began to look at the big picture yet. They are happy in their ignorance as long as everything is going relatively smooth for them. They won't begin to actually work towards a better big picture until the shit starts hitting the fan a little closer to their own doorstep. Only then will they begin to see it for it is.

    Not sure this is true, though. That was my point ... Shit hitting the doorstep lately has just made people more militant.

    Not now because they still don't see their own govt as responsible.
