I don't like it when someone walks around an issue, lists the problems BUT provides NO solutions for the problems.

It silly but 95% of the solution is to be had by making people care. Making them feel empowered and just, to squelch the sense of hopelessness.

We have all forgotten the most dreadful aspect of tyranny, forgotten why it is so frightening -- tyranny is not merely intense oppression, it is the NORMALIZATION of that oppression, creating a world where we feel 'nothing is really wrong'.

How often do you hear people say, "Well, yeah, but I'm free enough." ?

How would our forefathers feel living in this world?

The solution is justified RAGE that forces the issues to the table, and makes man bust out of his stall on the animal farm and reclaim his dignity.

The greatest enemy of 'problems' is freedom, not some 5 year plan.

You might not have to wait that long. Lately I've been seeing sparks, in people's comments, of that rage you are talking about.
