There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says

133. I think you might have more faith in the American people than I do.

I dont know when the hell I became so cynical. I completely agree with the first two lines of your post. And I do think an economic boycott might be the only way to get "their" attention. But I sincerely doubt that enough people would be willing to inconvenience themselves long enough or well enough to make a boycott effective. Never mind that this whole incident will probably be well down the memory whole for most people by next May.

The feeling I get over all this from my non-political friends is largely "I dont care. Im not doing anything wrong" or "what are you talking about?". I swear, give most people a wal-mart, reality tv, and a facebook page & they are perfectly content to let the world go on around them.

Maybe Im wrong. Id LOVE to be wrong. Id love to see people get the hell up and DO something about the situation. That said, I'd totally be down with a long-term boycott. I think its a great idea. As is spelling out how to do it in a guide of some sort. And you know? Wouldnt it be something if people from all over the world boycotted US products? It would certainly send one hell of a message.

Thanks for the link. Surprised theres nothing in my state. "Live free or Die" and all that.
