Today's world is a frightening place. Not necessarily in the events taking place in Arab countries or Russian borders, or the division in the America's. The apathy of the wests population to any form of politics, however, is truly terrifying.

Huh?

Huh?

Apparently, "we in the West" are apathetic because we accept democracy, and don't fight when we want change...

At least, that is what I read from that post, with my woman's logic...

[EyeBrock]

I'll go with your version Bren!

I'd try to figure out what you are saying, but I can't seem to care. Given that people are fighting for their right to self determination, and the Bahranian King just shouted 'let them eat cake!'.

If the G8 protesters faced off against a real police state they'd hop on their fixies and ride away as fast as they could.
