    Americans are complacent. Part of it is living paycheck to paycheck, and part of it is that the bread and circuses have quite a few psychological tricks and chemical boosts to make them much more addictive than anything the romans could have dreamed of.

    That “push hard” bit will need to be as extreme as the bombing campaign against the vietnamese was in order to get any action.
