Let's see. I am not hungry. Nor thirsty. I have a fridge and a cellar with plenty of food, for more than 3 weeks. I have a roof above my head. I need to work 40 hours a week; overtime is well paid. I have savings, I have central heating that keeps me warm during Winter; I don't know which DVD to watch first, which book to read first or which game to play first. My cellar is filled with good wine and excellent beer. I have a car. I can go on holiday two or three times a year.

Ehm, what were we complaining about again?
An interesting point; but this I think is part of the problem.

No offence to you, Andres, but that is a rather complacent viewpoint.

"As long as I have my boat, my truck, and my cabin next to the lake, I don't care what happens with politics."

But that attitude is a perfect way to lose you boat, your truck, and your cabin next to the lake. Or to lose it for your children.

Complacency is part of the problem here.
