Every goddammed group of crack pots, wing nuts, and lunatic fringe junkies seems to be far better organized and effective than us !!!! The average American male !!!! What the hell has happened ??? How did we all fall so far off the cliff ???
The answer is very simple. Laziness.
We collectively became numb, docile and lazy, placing our entertainment and material needs far above the civic duties we needed to regularly practice to keep our country and society from unraveling.
The true kick in the ass here is that all these entertainment and material needs we have become addicted to have in fact become the cause of our societal problems.
This is not quantum physics, gentlemen. We simply need to start telling the truth to each other about how we feel, and what we have been hoping for.
We have infinitely more in common than we think.
If we do not begin to communicate, network, organize and help each other, all we have been lucky enough to inherit will slowly be taken away from us.
Please get involved right now !!!!!

Frank,
Do you really think the problem is laziness? Or could it be something else?
I am thinking that a lack of consciousness, a lack of awareness, is at the heart of the problem. Maybe complacency figures into it, too, but it seems we are so busy pursuing wealth and the things we are "supposed" to have, that we lose sight of anything.
Here's an example of what I am talking about. Consider the issue of good, close male friends. Who has time for many of those friendships? Yet, to me, solid friendships with other men are very important. You can't buy those friendships and the do take a lot of work in the sense that you have to make time for them.
I consider friends to be an essential element of the so-called "good life." At the same time, we face so many competing demands for our time and attention, I often think we are sabotaging our own success.
Are we trying too hard to pursue and achieve the good life to actually enjoy it?
