The revolution will not be exercised
If everyone is so mad and frustrated about A.I.G. and the job losses and the recession, where are the riots? Sudhir Venkatesh, a sociology prof from Columbia, makes an interesting case for why there probably won't be an uprising no matter how bad it gets. My gut reaction would have been to blame the unbecoming miasma of apathy and self-interest in the United States, coupled with the fact that our middle class is still much better off than any other middle class at any point in history. Then I would have made some sort of joke about how 66% of Americans are too fat to wield a pitchfork, anyway.
