I used to think it was plain as day, that people would see all of the corruprion and change the system. Alas, it appears that the media has done a great job at distracting people from things that have a major impact on their lives. If people really paid attention to what is going on, and all the corruption that is running rampant through the system, they might actually take action. However, they are distracted with Snooki, the Kardashians, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, etc. Just like Rome, with their bread and circuses to distract the masses, until the whole system collapsed. It's truly sad that people just don't give a shit about how all of this is going to impact them in the long run.
