Unfortunately, I would not use outrage to describe most people's feelings. Most people seem content to explain it away as "business as usual" for big business and politicians. Most of the time, when I point out wrongdoing by corporations or the government, people just say, "Oh yeah, everybody knows that, tell me something I don't know." This is a sophomoric attitude; They are the world-wise cynics that know the play. If they are so smart, why don't they get upset or do something about it? Write to a congressman, read his blow-off reply, vote for someone else besides the 2-party shills. This country has taken interchangeable parts to a new extreme, if you know what I mean. Until we can wake the jaded, apathetic masses from their hookah-house torpor and get them to think about how they can use the pitifully small amount of leverage they have to effect change on their society, I hold out no hope for "the right thing" to be done.
