Why have Americans in this day and age become so ignorant in allowing our rights to be taken away?

Question

It is really ashamed because all the people before us fought and died for us to be a free nation of people free from a tyrannical Govt. and now if you stand up for our rights it seems you are treated like a traitor while the public glorifies Evil men in power who only devise their destruction.

Anyone who gives up their rights and civil liberties for security DESERVE NEITHER!

Answer 1

Don't forget the insurance companies, they too have a major role.

Answer 2

You want to understand a concept that keeps you bewildered.

The concept is that there has been a population explosion going on, and that's just what capitalism needs to thrive on.

The rights you mention are not applicable to the new way of doing things.

Watch what the major corporations are doing, that is the new power in the world. The past conflicts and governments are taking a back seat to what the corporations are doing.

They control our lives, and God forbid if you intend to work for any of them.

They don't like paying a decent wage, and jobs don't last like they used to.

If there was anything worth fighting for anymore, it's that skimpy paycheck that doesn't go very far.

Blame the corporations and their C.E.O.'s.

That's the new fight. That's the new conlict!

Answer 3

It's the school systems;growing up I watched it happen.Jocks getting good grades because they play football well,(they also happen to have all the money so it's these athletic morons who will REALLY be the future of america) teachers who don't know their own subject,kids who haven't met the grade requirements being bounced to the next grade anyway,I come from the school with the highest statistical drop-out rate in america, I'm a drop-out,and had to drop-out BECAUSE people were infringing on my constitutional rights(long story).
