"We're Losing Our Country -- Does Anyone Care?"

I saw that in the back window of an SUV this morning, and I began wondering.  Think with me, please.

I.  Why would someone think we are losing our country?

• It's not like when I was a boy.
• It's not like when I was a girl.
• It's not what I planned it to be when I grew up and "made it".
• It's not what it was in my parent's or grandparent's day.

Or,

• there are too many whites
• there are too many non-whites
• there are too many gays/lesbians/transsexuals
• there are too many rich people
• there are too many poor people
• there are too many computers
• there are too many. . . [you fill in your blank here]

or,

•  too many people don't work very hard
•  too many people live only for entertainment
•  too many people lie, cheat, steal (any one or all three)
•  too many people are not Christian enough
•  too many people don't respect Allah
•  too many people are trying to get rich, usually quickly

II.  Why think that no one cares?

• Not enough people turn out to vote
• Not enough people gripe about it
• Not enough people are ready to "throw the bums out"
• Not enough people take drugs 
• Too many people take drugs

or,

• only the very rich can run for office successfully
• only the very polarized and polarizing run for office successfully
• only the people I despise run for office successfully
• only the people you like run for office successfully.

What do you think it means, that bumper sticker that says, "We're login our country -- does anyone care?"
