I really should have said the majority of people don't care.

There's been some ripple effect already. In France, Sarkozy was forced to postpone his educational reform for another year, because (as he specifically admitted), he was worried that the country-wide discontent over them might lead to something like the situation in Greece.

And really, a lot of the issues at the heart of people's anger are global. I would not be surprised at all if more people around the world started expressing their discontent.
