4. I think a lot of people are losing interest in America. Most of us have no
choice, we live here. The cards are really stacked against many citizens. About 400 people control about 1/2 of the wealth of this nation. How F'ed up can that be.

Maybe more citizens will start paying attention when this hits them in the head. My theory is many people don't give a F about anything 'till it smacks them in the head, otherwise it's the other guy's problem and they plod on.

5. How much of your produce already comes from outside the US?
Buy vegetables and fruit out of season? They probably come from South America. How much of your gasoline comes from Venezuela and Canada? How much of the plastic and rubber and who knows what else you use in everyday products is imported? Where was your television made? Your computer? The clothes you're wearing? The problems of a global economy, at a certain point imported goods are necessary (unless you're prepared to accept a substantial reduction in your standard of living).
