Learned Helplessness

Ok, late to the party as usual - but for what its worth here's my take on the whole 'tire pressure' imbroglio. The reason they do this is to ridicule the whole concept that individual action could make a difference. The right is in the business of centralized, top down, authoritarian solutions - heavy military equipment, nuclear power, heroic posturing by the president. Not collective action, and and involved and motivated electorate. Wait, maybe I'm not late- the new VP is ridiculing Obama for being a community organizer...
