It's not that we don't question, it's that we only question and protest when it directly affects us. Iraq is controversial, but it comes nowhere near Vietnam, when students were shouting for LBJ's blood in the streets because they knew that they stood a good chance of being drafted and dying for an unjust war.

I also think that it has a lot to do with media brainwashing, making ti seem like everyhing is much better than it is and this defeatist mindset in thinking that the government and big business is unbeatable, when it isn't. Wal Mart has been pushed out of so many communities due to public protests and referendums, and it's proof that we can fight if we care enough and see past our own needs.
