The system: do you see the government or the economy getting any better?
I've seen the government displeasing the population and many I know foresee protesting and it is totally understandable. In your opinion, do you see the government or the economy getting any better? I see so many shut up in their houses complaining, yet scared to do anything about it. I do not believe violence is answer but how in the world may there be a reformation? I don't have a reliable source for this but I quote "America is giving their country away..." I can see that, thinking it's time for me to get out. I don't want to be caught up in this mess, and as I see it, it'll only get worse. The media and the media junkies are becoming our population. If the people were cows, the government can easily tip them however they please. In my town, the people aren't getting learned in school. Not because the school isn't teaching them but because the children's attention is elsewhere.. speaking for the majority. What kind of soup bowl are we becoming? Whatsoever it is that is the mastermind behind this deficient system, in my eyes, is destroying the beauty that once was. It's turning and turning and it's becoming inexpressibly ugly.

Maybe give some free advice about: Activism?
You can't interpret the world with an endless stream of analogies; pseudo-intelligence has much more nuance to it.
Recent economic numbers based on September's statistics show signs of improvement, Europe may finally be getting its act together, and the waning favorability of the Tea Party can allow the Republican party to be run by the grown ups.
EDIT:
I read a ridiculous, obscene amount of news every single day, a majority of it coming from TIME Magazine's website at time.com and articles from the Associated Press posted on yahoo.com. You should be able to get the day's statistics through either of them.

If you ask this question of 10 different people you will get 10 different answers. Your question, as I see really has two parts. You ask about the government and the economy. While they are tied together they are also separate.
Looking at the economy I don't just see a problem for the United States alone. Economic problems are a global crisis at this time. Until world leaders get a handle on the total problem we at home will suffer more or less as the world suffers.
Many of us don't see this because of the way the media reports the news. For most of us it is encapsulated into a 30 or 60 minute segment each evening on a televised broadcast. Print media is going out style and few of us rely on the print media for our news. The print media also encapsulates as well as edits what we see. They like the electronic media need to grab our attention to sell their newspapers or their air time. They sensationalize and editorialize rather than report the facts as in the who, what, when and where.
To be as informed as we make out to be one needs to research a subject through a number of different sources. Most of us do not have the time to do so. We choose a source we believe most reliable and make that our gospel.
As for our government: At the moment my feeling is there is not much hope left for the two party system of government. As it stands to day what I have been saying is, "If one party sees something as green the other party sees it as blue and what you get is yellow." I consider the present Congress the "Gridlock Congress held hostage by tea party in the House and a Speaker that can't lead or doesn't know how to lead. This from someone who is a registered member of the speakers party.
Congress has the lowest approval rating ever in recorded history and still all we see is gridlock. The only way to fix this is to vote them out of office. This won't happen for the majority of voters feel better the devil you know that the one you don't know.
Since we are unwilling to fix the problems with the power we have then we deserve what we get and the suffering we have. It is unfortunate but those are the facts as I see them.
As I said in the beginning ask 9 other people an you will get nine other views.
