Hmm, there's an idea. For all the American citizens who don't vote (and that number is embarrassingly high), other people in other countries could bid for the right to vote in their place. We might get a leader that the rest of the world is satisfied with and pull ourselves out of the red.

I, too, wish that indifference had equal opportunity across the board. The national news channels attempt to give us nightmares every other day, which is a totally useless tactic after a while. As for hysteria, one can't live in constant terror--eventually you're numb to it ... and I think the phlegmatic nature you spoke of is a direct numbing response to the years of Blitz, a response that is unfortunately starting to wear off it seems.

But bomb scare at a local department store? The store said nothing, people continued to shop, and were none the wiser about the bomb squad detonating the device outside. Ignorance is bliss. If only we could be blissfully indifferent without the ignorance.

Please tell me that is isn't one American who thinks this is a good idea. I can think of two countries that would like it though. Hint: think sand.
