We'll sit on our fat asses.

Iranians are braver than Americans. Or so it seems to me. I’m impressed that they take to the streets to protest their elections. We Americans remained rather placid when George Bush and the U.S. Supreme Court stole the 2000 presidential election. And when Bush and the neo-conservatives, with a few Democrats mixed in, took us into an obscene war, there was little more than token protest. No taking to the streets. And it’s quite possible that we Americans will be denied universal health care again later this year. Because insurance companies have the financial and political clout to scuttle a public health care plan. But we Americans will continue to sit on our fat asses rather than take to the streets. Seems we left our revolutionary days behind in 1776. –Jim Broede
