They were talking about all the protests and riots in the MidEast on the radio today and some caller asked why they thought Americans never rioted when the bailouts were being handed down to Wall Street.
If I hadn't been driving, I would have facepalmed.

Well, if people had actually understood what happened, there probably would have been riots.

Doubtful. Even at it's worst, life in America is too damn comfortable for people to get genuinely upset about their lot.
