How can 70% of Americans be so clueless to real dangers which must be dealt with?!?

Answer 1

They are compromised by the US very own Fifth Column, the Fourth Estate.

Answer 2

Because they are more concerned with how Anna Nicole died or who will win American Idol. This is a celebrity worshiping culture which values physical attributes above mental abilities or spiritual condition.
I don't know however whether this is caused by the MSM or is exacerbated by it. Either way, most Americans can't name their 2 U.S. Senators or explain why a free market is the best economic system.

Answer 3

Gee, I give up. What 70% and what dangers? I consider it dangerous to bend over to pick up a penny but then I do have scoliosis of the spine.

Answer 4

for one thing they are denied a proper education, so do no have the capacity to recognize problems, they only know what the media and their church tells them. They are largely under the impression that the states is the greatest country there is, and excessive pride mixed with ignorance sets them up to ignore their own problems, or blame them on an outside force. (immigrants, muslims,etc)

Answer 5

And what dangers:
sleeper terrorist cells,
hijackings of our planes then put them though buildings,
China,
trade deficit,
inflation,
retirement,
road rage,
stop signs,
traffic lights,
gangs,
Cindy Sheehan,
GWB,
Global Warming,
my back,
health insurance,
job,
taxes,
bills,
family,
pollution,
only to name a few of the thousand of dangers that we must deal with.

Please be a bit more specific, then maybe we can answer you.

Answer 6

70% apparently realize that the real danger is a power hungry President who has no respect for the Constitution.

Answer 7

"What no one seemed to notice. . . was the ever widening gap. . .between the government and the people. . . And it became always wider. . . the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting, it provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway . . . (it) gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about . . .and kept us so busy with continuous changes and 'crises' and so fascinated . . . by the machinations of the 'national enemies,' without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us.

Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures'. . . must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. . . .Each act. . . is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow.

You don't want to act, or even talk, alone. . . you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.. . .But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays.

But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. . . .You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father. . . could never have imagined.

"OUR RACE IS THE MASTER RACE. WE ARE DIVINE GODS ON THIS PLANET. WE ARE AS DIFFERENT FROM THE INFERIOR RACES AS THEY ARE FROM INSECTS. IN FACT, COMPARED TO OUR RACE, OTHER RACES ARE BEASTS AND ANIMALS, CATTLE AT BEST. OTHER RACES ARE CONSIDERED AS HUMAN EXCREMENT. OUR DESTINY IS TO RULE OVER THE INFERIOR RACES. OUR EARTHLY KINGDOM WILL BE RULED BY OUR LEADER WITH A ROD OF IRON. THE MASSES WILL LICK OUR FEET, AND SERVE US AS OUR SLAVES." Menachem Begin (Israeli Prime Minister) winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

"Let the people think they govern, and they will be governed." William Penn 1644-1718

It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his people poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion." Aristotle (384-322 BC) in Politics, J. Sinclair translation

A new fascism promises security from the terror of crime. All that is required is that we take away the criminals’ rights -- which, of course, are our own. Out of our desperation and fear we begin to feel a sense of security from the new totalitarian state." Gerry Spence, Lawyer and author. Source: Give Me Liberty, 1998

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."Steve Biko

"Truth is the enemy of the State. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State. George W. Bush No, sorry, it should be: Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda

"Patriotism in its simplest, clearest and most indubitable signification is nothing else but a means of obtaining for the rulers their ambitions and covetous desires, and for the ruled the abdication of human dignity, reason, conscience, and a slavish enthrallment to those in power" Leo Tolstoy –

The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence." Elbert Hubbard (American editor, publisher and writer, 1856-1915)

One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.”Franklyn C. Nofziger Press Secretary for President Reagan

"People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster."
