U.S. troops are already being trained for civil unrest in the U.S. if an uprising takes place because of the economy. Surprised? Think about it. If one has no job, no home, no food, no water, and none of the necessities an individual works hard to achieve, there will be discontentment, perhaps in forms we never dreamed of. One only has to look at the past to learn for the future: Poland, E/Germany, Russia, and many other governments/civilizations that changed because people's basic needs were not met. We are not immune to change in the U.S. We can only hope and pray that our new President will be able to change the direction we were headed to in the past, and save our nation from greed for future generations. Now is the time to look beyond our pettiness and concentrate on what we can do individually to affect a better outcome for our country. Per the article, many other countries are looking at us in ways that should shock us out of our apathy. (NIMBY)
