What happens to people living in a society where everyone in power is lying, stealing, cheating and killing, and in our hearts we all know this, but the consequences of facing all these lies are so monstrous, we keep on hoping that maybe the corporate government administration and media are on the level with us this time. Americans remind me of survivors of domestic abuse. This is always the hope that this is the very, very, very last time one's ribs get re-broken again. Inga Muscio
About This Quote

The public is often accused of believing what it wants to believe, not what is true. The public believes that the government and media are on their side and that everyone agrees with them. They want to believe that their elected leaders and the media are acting in their best interests. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Americans are so eager to believe they are on the right side of things they ignore the obvious signs of corruption lying all around them.
