  • quepol, on 07/10/2008, -1/+2It may, indeed, be the reason Gov is losing its way, but I disagree that it's Gov's fault and not our's. We have become disconnected, apathetic, unconcerned, etc., etc., etc. as a country, as a people. However, people ARE connecting to their friends and social networks, and I will support every effort to get Gov to participate in this. It may be the only way to get people engaged and interested again.

    I mean, come on. The average price of gas is nearly $5.00. FIVE DOLLARS!! Where's the outrage? Why aren't people in the streets? Because we are not engaged the way people once were.

    All IMHO, of course.
