2. In the larger scheme of things...
What can any of us do. I mean, sure, we'd all like to take to the streets to, raise hell, to effect change. But we're all in the exact position that the powers that be want us in. We've got mortgages, and credit card payments. When I talk to my friends about this, they pretty much tell me the same thing. They don't want to lose their homes, and jobs, for showing public defiance in the face of what has become a real national emergency in my opinion. This is why I get so frustrated, I feel trapped, censored, and oftentimes crippled. I don't know if this is part of "the larger scheme of things" you were referring to, but I feel as though our collective anger and frustration is still falling on deaf ears.
