The American people are definitely apathetic, but it's mainly because we are so optimistic. People like me are running in circles trying to stir citizens of the world up about these tyrannical laws that are being eased through Congress, but we are fighting a losing battle.
Why do I feel that the world(and not just Americans) are responsible for the much needed revolution? Because we will all be affected . . . that's it. I have no other reasoning. America has gained power over the world through its affiliation with the UN and the favors we have done for other countries, but that didn't happen because our government is just that smart . . . it's about corruption worldwide. Think about it. How did an American company come to control the entire Internet(an American invention by the way)??? We did it because no other country felt the need to step up to the plate. Apathy is worldwide, Leanne. Not just in America.
