I think that one of the biggest problems we face in the world today is the growing "I don't want to get involved" mentality. People "say" they want things to change, but they're simply unwilling to do anything but whine about it to other people who also "can't be bothered" to do anything.

The incessant drone of "someone (else...but not me...'cause I got shit to do...) REALLY needs to do something about that..." and the resultant lack of change are the most consistent things in society today.

I think that, given the last 50 years of abject failure, we can no longer offer up the excuse that "we hired the government to do that for us, so we don't have to waste our time doing it" as though it means anything, or that it'll change anything. It's fairly certain that it hasn't, it isn't, and it won't.

It's up to us.

If it can fit in the commercial break.
