Reply #8: Reasons why you don't see the outrage:

[Ladyhawk]

1. The corporate media is no longer covering it, even though people are still interested.

2. The people think that someone besides those responsible is to blame. (Example: my reich-wing mother blames everything on Bill Clinton or the closest Democrat to the problem. When she lost $30,000 in the stock market, it was Clinton's fault, even though he hadn't been president for several months.)

3. It didn't affect enough people to stay on the radar past 9-11.

4. Americans are stupid.

Personally, I think number 4 mixed with something else might be the culprit. Hardly anyone I know can write in complete, coherent sentences and most of them have the attention span of can of tuna.
