Americans have become very apethetic and irritated by the war on terror, they no longer caRE.

And they need us to care.


I think Many people DO in fact Care. I think they are very interested in what's going on right now. Apathy and indifference are problems in some respects, I will agree, but not as much as you may think. Personally, I think specifically dealing with the 'War on Terrorism', people are seriously confused as to 'Who the True Enemy' is, not whether they should fight against them. I also think that questioning the direction we are headed is a smart move for people to do, although they can't afford to sit around questioning too long either. Just look at the American History of 'War on...."

War on Drugs = More Drugs and More Drug Related Crime.

War on Poverty = More Homeless and Poor

War on Crime = Crime always on the rise and prisons continue overcrowding

War on Illiteracy = Tens of Millions still can't read or write and education has gone into the toilet

and the list continues.....Which would lead any person with even below average intelligence to the conclusion that,

War on Terrorism = More Terrorism and Terrorists

That just seems to be the pattern. If you were doing this in a scientific way, recording the results of multiple tests, by now you would have come to the strong conclusion that when you have a 'War on (whatever)' you end up with more (whatever) than you started with.

As crazy as it sounds, using the scientific method and results obtained so far, it would seem to be in our best interest to have a "War on World Peace" and/or "War on Compassion and Tollerance", since the pattern shows we'd end up getting more 'Peace and Tollerance' as a result. Go figure?!?!

And look how much thought the American public gives to war on drugs, war on illiteracy, ect.
Look how americans react to terror alerts. No change. Bored and irritated with them. But not sufficently panicked. Most Americans have forgotten 9/11/ Most dont care. Hell, on 9/11 ibe heard people complain about the memorial services and such. Takes away from watching survivor.

So, no, we arent hardly worried about terrorism, weve gone back into apathy. We are now getting irritated by the infringments such as increased airport security, stupid lerts, ect.

We cant let that happen. A non paranoid america is an america who wont be rallying behind future invasions.


I understand what you're saying, and would agree about half way. There are plenty of selfish, inconsiderate POS I agree. In fact, I classify the majority in there most of the time. Howerver, the last Power Outage in New York ended up being a display of people calmly using their heads. Recently there have been other cases where people actually pulled together and decided to care a little for others around them. I'd like to think that those kinds of actions would increase with time too. (Like you I am doubtful though, but I am not an optimist either, so I figure it's just me.)

People do need a kick in the Ass, too. I agree there, and would add in a slap in the face and good talking to as well. However, I think the last thing any of us need is everyone reacting out of Panic or Fear or Revenge or Anger or any of the emotional mistakes that come with acts of terrorism. What we need is for people to honestly Give a # about what is happening because They Want the World to be a Better Place. Not because they're Afraid, or Forced into making a Choice, or whatever. Panic creates Chaos. Thoughtful, Intelligent Intent creates a Positive Direction of Movement. Action without direction is like the scattering of Roaches when the lights come on. Action with direction is like an Ant colony that progressively works together and acomplishes incredible things for themselves as well as the group.
