You'd think so, wouldn't you. You would be amazed how apathetic people can be, even when faced daily with thier own xploitation - indeed, perhaps people just accept what's ahppening to them and lose hope in any change, unless it happens quickly, suddenyl, and without them having to commit at first.
: Democracy

: as long as the people have power and are able to act
