I’m not saying it is necessarily a good thing that Italians are occupying trains stations and airport runways because they hate Silvio Berlusconi and don’t want him to be their president prime minister anymore. But it does kill one of my theories for why Americans don’t go really nuts anymore. After all, Italians have teevee and video games, too. If they can put down the Wii long enough to shut down an airport, then I don’t know what our problem is. Maybe we’re too fat?
Or maybe our media is just especially hypnotizing?
