The Answer to 'When?'

[Hissyspit]

CrispyQGirl wrote this as a response to mikelewis' "When?" thread, in which he goes through the litany of Bush admin atrocities and asks 'when good men and women will come to the aid of their country?' I thought her reply deserved its own thread as it sums up pretty well where we're at and where we are headed:

The average American is still too comfortable to think about or consider revolution.

Maybe this winter when heating costs double, gas hits $4 per gallon, their weekly grocery bill goes up 25%, their credit cards require twice the payment as before & when they call their lawyer to declare bankruptcy they find out the law has been changed & they have to give everything up & sign their life away. Maybe then they'll stop worrying about the gay couple down the street & start to worry about their own economic situation.
