Ending and Beginning

This is from an email to a friend. It seems quite pithy now that I reread it.

I do think that our opportunity to choose between two corporate fascists every 4 years serves no purpose other than perpetuating the myth that we live in a democracy. But if you give most Americans that myth, along with cheap food and gas, they seem to be quite content to go on supporting whatever our government has to do (war, torture, environmental destruction) to maintain the status quo for one more day. What’s it going to take to rouse people out of their apathy? How do we convince people that life should be about more than NASCAR and cheap big macs?
