Garry Trudeau speaks to the Guardian about Doonesbury and dissent in the U.S...

very interesting... very, VERY interesting... also very worthwhile visiting the guardian to read the whole interview, in no small part because trudeau almost never grants interviews... a sample...
"I will say there's no shortage of dissent in America - it's just that it's largely impotent. Challenges to the White House narrative continue to be reframed as unpatriotic. And fear-mongering has disabled civil public discourse. Before the last election, our friends abroad could say the problem was Bush, not the American people. No longer."

"impotent" dissent... and there ya have it...
