Sure, there are still some people who are passionate about social justice, democracy and all that, but for the most part Americans just don't care. <BR/><BR/>As long as they have a roof over their heads and plenty of food in the fridge everything is just fine.<BR/>Take a seat and watch reality TV or play video games. <BR/><BR/>I'm a native and I do love my county. I've served in the military and I do vote. But watching the way GW has been allowed to really screw things makes me wonder whether our "American soul" can be saved.

It is also absolute baloney to say the Founding Fathers did or can save America's soul. Nor did the majority on the Supreme Court.
