16. The level of helplessness is building too.

I think many of us have come to the realization over the past decade that what little control over our own lives we thought we had really isn't there. Our representatives do not represent us, voting will not change anything except the name of the ass in the chair, marches are no longer any more effective than a parade, the barriers that stood between citizens and prison are crumbling, and you have no power at work because, well, it's not like you can just get pissed off, quit and find another job. Basically I think the main cause is people beginning to realize whether they know it or not, that it's over. Everything we've worked for, all the dreams we had are fading. Gone.
