Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

Lee Iacocca and Catherine Whitney have written a new book:
here is an exerpt:
I
Had Enough?

Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."

Obviously, Iacocca doesn't read the blogs I do if he thinks he's alone in his outrage. Unfortunately, given human nature [see the articles in yesterday's posts] we WILL just go along and go along while the world crumbles around us. We may protest -- even vigorously. We may scream at our television sets. We may march.

We DID vote last year to show what we thought of the status quo. And, then, we got more of the same. The new Congress that promised change hasn't given it to us.

I believe we ARE outraged. But, I also believe we feel helpless to do more than we have done and are doing to change the situation. If Congress isn't going to impeach and convict the criminals--what can we do?

I know what I WON'T do-- I won't take up an assassin's gun in order to rid the country of the vermin that are running it into the ground.

So--what else is there? What CAN we do beyond voting our consciences? We DID that! What else is left ?
