It's all fun and giggles until someone gets killed. Protesters in Ohio and Wisconsin drink Beaujolais and text friends back home about their daily battles to bust unions or balance State budgets depending on one's political affiliation and job status.
Meanwhile news media fan the fire to keep a good story going and continue to run patronizing pictures of demonstrations in the Middle East. As the price of oil creeps up America begins to gulp nervously as we eye our aging cars. Twenty per cent of America's are indifferent, they are just struggling to survive a few more quarters.
Where will it go? Historically small issues far away highlight underlying problems here at home. Be careful America our invincibility shirts are getting a little frayed.
