[quote=Anonymous]Why aren't there more protests? Two main reasons: Apathy, fatigue and fear. Apathy because many people don't think their opinion matters anymore. Elected officials (who have the power to change things) don't listen to them, and are corrupt, so what difference is marching in the street going to make? Fatigue because so many families are just trying to pay the mortgage, keep their kids on track, AND continue to work jobs they don't like and/or can't afford to quit. They feel trapped. Fear because they know that half the population doesn't have the same political views as they do (including in their workplace, neighborhoods, and social circles) and ANY dissent or differing view will lead to a confrontation which may affect those relationships. Including with their boss, who may see them out on the street in a protest and decide to find a reason to fire them. [/quote]
