No Americans are not truly stupid! What would you have us do? Our government is out of control and even the most backward redneck here knows it. Should we riot like the Greeks(sarcasm)? We all see how well that turned out. Most Americans are going to fight back through their wallets and votes.

We as Americans are too lazy to do anything. [I'm American]. Instead we flock to the beaches to see the oil spill, not to help. We the Americans are looking for ways to make money from this tragedy. YES WE ARE. We want to sue anything and everything we can as an outcome to this. 20 Billion as a relief aid to the fishermen? NOPE. EVERY Fisherman who is working down their, works for BP now. Who was handed that 20 Billion? Not the people. The first oyster with oil was found 2 weeks ago by a high school kid. He sued the restaurant that served it to him, not even taking into account the oil in this oyster is there because of BP. We the Americans have not even put up a rally or a protest, and if we have. IT"S BEING CENSORED BY THE MEDIA as to keep the masses from joining in on the rally or protest. The most damning thing done so far is a woman who poured fake oil on herself when CEO of BP was being questioned by the house. IT"S BEEN PROVEN and I quote "A misjudgment of placing a single string casing; is what caused the rupture of GAS before the oil even started flowing, The blowing up of the rig was due to the misuse of the cementing mud-". Cementing Mud wasn't used when the GAS had already blown out the safety valve, so what they did was basically say "!@#$ IT".
I am an American and I don't see # from Americans. Far as I see it the person to help the most is Anderson Cooper... I also only see refugee's with BP uniforms on helping in the clean up. But that's all were hearing about. Is the clean up.

Well organized riots works well and have always been succesful - But what should remember, "there is no room for anarchy in any levels" - otherwise you just give cards to covernment to play against your cause.
You need leaders, plans, all kind of squad leaders - pyramid organization and peoples support for the cause. You need weapons, communications, helthcare, sanitation, counter investigations, diplomacy channels, support, money... A base to your activities.
But U.S. people are maybe just too lazy to do everything right. Learn from PAD and Thailand yellow shirts - they did change right.
But its "the tube" and your selfish needs what you should abandon first - Totally - and I think thats too much asked from greedy US folks - Or is it?

I wish we could rewrite our election system. Have it based more like random selection jury duty. Serve 4 years in congress once in your life and no more. Would get rid of alot of the corruption. SIGH. I can dream.

Truthy-bird, yes we do have something in our Constitution to fight bad government, the 2nd Amendment. Frankly, I think most of us who know what's going on in this country would have no problem marching on Washington and forcefully taking our government back from the monsters who have ruined it.
Unfortunately, people in the U.S. today have learned how much easier it is to walk around in denial or ignore blatant facts hoping someone else is going to take care of it. We live in an era where we haven't really had our freedom threatened at any significant level, so we have become complacent. We let our guard down for too long and this is what results.
Personally, we should have taken over the government upon the realization that Kennedy's assassination was an inside job, but we didn't. Instead, we've still got idiots running around who still believe Oswald was the lone shooter. You see the mentality we're dealing with here?
