Americans Lack Outrage
In spite of cries from a very few people in the United States of America, there is really no outrage coming from the everyday, common American citizen. The majority of Americans have no clue of what is going on in the world. The majority of Americans have no idea of how national, state, or local government works in America. The majority of Americans do not vote in elections. Even when the "truth" is known, the majority of Americans just plain do not care. There is very little, if any, outrage in America. The bottom line is:Americans Lack Outrage. For an extremely interesting perspective on this subject, I strongly encourage you to read Where's the Outrage? by Daniel Wagner.

Y'know, I get the impression I probably wouldn't agree with Wagner's examples. But he is right. And while listening to pop music doesn't exactly indicate stupidity, and Jaywalking is about 90% put-up, it's still true and you can find examples of your own everywhere.
