US Bread & Circuses delay riots, revolts
America remains stable and able to sustain the current status quo with its Bread & Circuses which I predict will sustain for more than 1 year and perhaps many years but most likely will not sustain the status quo very well in 2014 and/or beyond.
The Circus or activities for entertainment and careers first.
Contrast America's women to middle east women:
America's women entertain with online Facebook, fashion, career ambitions within the existing businesses, government employers and corporate or professional ladders channel anger and rebellion into starting their own businesses or raising children.
While, middle east women have large numbers of children that the middle east women promote jihad or the middle east fashions of colored burkas, using cell phones to coordinate the Arab Spring without much expectation of financial or personal independence.
American men entertain with online porn, fantascy sports teams, TV's ultimate circus remains the Super Bowl for older generations and worldwide internet games such as World of War Craft.
Middle east men entertain with limited access to soccer, censored internet, religious activities, fathering large families.
Now the Bread, 2nd in the Bread and Circuses
Middle east families trade higher percentages of their labor and wealth to purchase food with rarely effective social nets to support their poorest and socially outcast.
American families currently trade a record lowest percentage of their labor and wealth to purchase food with commonly effective social nets that make our poorest and socially outcast the fattest in the world.
Compare America to Europe's Bread and Circuses.
Mostly the contrast is closer than contrasting to the Arab Spring region.
Europe has riots motivated by poverty and declining lifestyles as the PIGS take away government paid benefits most months while riots in America mostly result from rowdy crowds after sporting events. America on rare ocassion has racial or ethnic large protests most often peaceful about injustices such as the 'white Mexican' Zimmerman killing the black Treyvor Martin with most activities channelled into the peaceful legal and political system.
Europe has frequent changes of rulers among the PIGS rulers as political hostility against the incumbents offers a near term future change away from elections towards rebellions within 2 years.
America has well established time tables for changes of rulers without offering the likelihood of a near term future change away from elections towards rebellions within 2 years ... the future offers rebellions that now are not a popular concept nor anticipated for years.
War and revolution serve the US status quo as diversions, circuses, entertain, political debate and employment for the jobless in the US Armed Services within the American sphere of Bread & Circuses rather than a source of political change such as the riots in Greece, Spain or Arab Spring. Sending US gang members and angry young men off to war overseas acts as a relief valve to prevent a source of American political violent revolts. Gangs remain a portion of the American Bread and Circuses providing music, fashions, employment and aspirations for the poor angry young. Even if the women(Yes, there now are female gangs or female members of male dominate gangs) and/or men lack adequate physical qualities to be gang members, they become gang wannabes by pretending to be associated with gangs.
