The two greatest problems in this country right now are apathy and arrogance.

The apathy that we the people have no control over the government no matter what we do. The apathy of being the victim of our own government is one of the greatest gifts to those who wish to keep us numb and dumb. Unless people start seeing what is happening and realizing that we have to ACT to stop tyranny here at home, we are doomed to the image they have in their minds of this great tyrannical system of control that snuffs the free life from each and every citizen. We may as well return to the countries our forefathers left behind and suffer the injustices they feared if we are too apathetic to fight for our own rights.

Arrogance, not the lessor of the two, just as defeating in result. The "pride and patriotism" of these arrogant individuals has allowed a tyrant in our midst. The belief that because we are Americans, we are somehow "better and superior" to other humans in the world has lead us to the unjust and illegal actions we have participated in in the last 8 years. The arrogance of not being able to first admit a wrong was done, accept the responsibility of allowing the wrong to be done in our name and finally the attempt to fix the wrongs done. Arrogance has lead many to believe that "war" with "inferior people" is a necessary evil. Arrogance has deceived those into believing that what has been shown to the world is strength when in reality we have shown the world we can be as tyrannical as those we have called the "evil" of this world.

Wake up America, before it is too late.
