Why would they waste their time debunking the Davinci Code? They might as well debunk the historical depiction of the Old West in Back To The Future, Part III.

It tempts me to ask the same question many people undoubtedly asked about my friends and I during our activist youth (waaay back in the day, about a couple of years ago): don't these people have lives?

I still like the way Carlin put it - Organized religion can't stand it if you use God's name and they don't get a cut of the profits.

Why aren't people outraged by this,by the wiretaps,by the Patriot Act,by our inability to catch the man who attacked us five years ago?

Heh, I've covered this over and over again. It's because by and large, the American public is too lazy. We've become a society of instant gratification, and if getting things to change requires more than writing one letter, participating in one protest, etc, we lost interest. Too many of us are not in it for the long haul, and those of us that try to get the others whipped up into a frenzy get met with blank stares as the sheeple worry about who's going to get booted off of whatever reality show shit-pile they're watching.
