There Is Silence in the Streets; Where Have All the Protesters Gone? - NY Times

Okay, so I'm just going to list - off the top 'o my head, some of the wildly cared about and attended American past times. Then I hope some of our readers can explain how we got to the point where these activities are more precious to the average American than being... well - American. Which used to mean exercising our rights and standing up for how the country is run. Is that not our job as Americans? You know - it comes with the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all that... old written stuff.

The short list:
• TV in general
• American Idol – it would be nice if the idols were our presidents and leaders
• Sports in General – Hockey, Baseball...
• NASCAR
• iPods – using, stealing, wishing for one
• Gaming – video, gambling, poker etc.
• Cars – driving, buying, Macin’
• and the winner might be: shopping
** If we showed up for America at the same rate and in the same numbers as the activities listed - America would be one wildly successful country! Not to mention happier about creating our own collective destiny. But I wax nostalgic - or something.

Just remember: Being America is something that is best done in person - not on a web site and not via television. (Unless you are the current government).

Let's try this simple exercise toward rehabilitation:
America - please step away from the TV and get out of the Mall. It's OK - come outside, be seen and be heard, then repeat. Don’t let the TV tell you - you have social anxiety disorders. Silence does = death in many ways.
