20% can't call 9/11 because there is no eleven on their phone.
What? a message for Polt from who? Seperation Agency? First you owe them $25 it's a collect call.
This apathy from the Amrrrican public is not a new thing. It's been bred over many generations. Mostly because we are pompous and prudish and couldn't care less about our fellow man let alone our environment, etc.
Such apathy does not bode well for the future and does not empower or motivate us to make any significant or useful changes.
Just let the other guys take care of it...I'm too busy watching my reality TV and driving my gas guzzling Hummer while complaining loudly about the quality of TV programming and the price of gas. Why should I expend my energy on trying to change things? I'm fully entitled to sit at home in my oversized lazy-boy and collect my welfare and eat my 5 full meals a day and attempt to waddle to the bathroom every once in a few weeks to spritz a little water on my face to call it 'washing-up'. It's my freedom and my 'right' as an Amrrrican to live my life this way, right? RIGHT???
