What's wrong with U.S.?

I mean, surely, Bush has assaulted our democracy more than the new labor laws insult the French youths? Surely. Yet THEY protest. THEY wreak havoc. THEY challenge the system. Over THAT (not to minimize their thing, but Bush? War Crimes? Hello?).

Excerpt: Students protesting a new labor law put more pressure on France's embattled government Thursday by blocking roads, trains and a convoy of parts heading to the factory that builds the world's largest airliner.

And what do we do? We sit on our fat, over-fed butts and do nothing, waiting for someone else to start something. All those comic books we grew up with, where a super-hero saved the day? Did that wreck us? Did they make us think someone would always swoop in a save us from the evil ones? Were those comic books some sort of evil CIA plot to make Americans think "someone else will save our butts"?

Sounds crazy, I know. But I don't know how else to explain it.
