Here and There

It’s not a nice thing to do, evidenced by the reaction of some members of the Hungarian populace.

I’ve always wondered what it was about the American people that makes them so … yes, passive about situations in which the government’s actions are questionable. Sure, I believe in checks and balances, but in a sense, a powerful protest in which citizens storm the grounds of any state agency demanding the resignation of their (key idea here) government is a powerful tool the people have, as long as it’s done non-violently. Apparently, Hungarian protestors’ passions got the better of them, and I don’t by any means condone that.

But I don’t need to hash out a laundry list of the crazy shit the U.S. government has done over the years. Once again I wonder: Where’s the outrage?
