While I like the gist of your points the Internet doesn't work for me as a comparison as people communicate through it. But someday we will drop apathy and laziness and face the fact that we hold the purse strings and do something instead of hoping someone like the gubbermint will. They are in the pockets of business.

This is a critical place in American history; a make it or break it place right now. When the supremes rule that corporations are people, and can pick and choose what health issues it agrees to cover for employees, then it looks like snake eyes -- we're history. Purse strings are not the controls.

But the 60's were good in many ways, providing grassroots movements that carried clout for awhile. Political philosophers note that those ideals did not disappear; they skip to alternating generations to take root, which is the one coming along now. The current right wing policies in this country, the ones that make individuals powerless, will be short-lived if these thinkers are right. And I think they are.
