72. I think the Spanish media is way less corporate. I do know one thing tho...

the "emotion" of a country determines what happens in and with government.

For example, if we have a country where everyone merely goes from work to home to watch reality shows, and isn't (or can't be involved - as we've been discussing, because it's so hard to get involved with protests and such in the U.S.), the government has 2 situations:

1. Either the govt is the enemy of the people and will take advantage of that by further hurting the people; or,

2. The govt is not the enemy of the people but has no back-up, support, or reinforcement from the people, so they're left alone looking as if every decision they take was theirs alone, and the people never supported the decision to begin with. That's pretty much what's happening with Democrats and Democratic govt. Republican Americans organize much more than Democratic Americans. I think there's a reason for that: church. There's an obsession with church in this country, and the church turned right wing in the 1980s. The church became the "grass roots" organizing arm of the Republican Party. Republicans automatically meet there every Sunday for services, and without any effort whatsoever, they network, make contact, share right wing ideas, and plan, etc. Do Democrats have such an organization? Nope. Things would be different if we were able to crack down on churches and remove their tax-exempt status the moment they give the impression of supporting political ideology.

In Spain there's no obsession with church. If people go, they go independently. Church there organizes nothing and nobody. And so, in Spain one may be right wing or left wing, but the church is never involved.

Very different situation.

Do you know what I mean?
