I think every generation says this. Its about the same as it was 40 years ago. Still lots of civil rights violations in this country,lots of wars on the planets,always some new and imminently deadly terroist leader on the loose. But its usually just the same old rhetoric. We become more desensitized to it as time goes on and just let government take care of it. And then eventually there becomes a time where the people have to step up and take there government back.
