Maybe its because the World isn't as bad as some of us think. Perhaps, the ideas and mores of society havent been offended enough to warrant protest by the general public. Maybe we've become jaded, or maybe its only a fraction of the population who feel like things are going to hell in a handbasket. Perhaps people are tired of naysaying and doom mongering and want to look on the brighter side.
Personally, I think that there is more to the situation than can easily be explained.
