I understood what you meant. I can't remember a single time my parents, or the rest of my family ever voted. They have always tried to get by doing as little as possible. It took years to figure out how wrong all this was. But recent experiences have made me feel very much of two minds. On the one hand, one can never give up. On the other hand, I can't see it as anything but hopeless.
Freepers haven't done anything to increase my optimism any, especially recently. This article articulates what is wrong, but not what we can do about it. I look at California, that has universal health care for illegals but not for citizens, whose Governor is calling for things that didn't work in Soviet Russia and I feel like I'm in a Kafkaesque Fellini movie.

Dear LogicWings – I am happy to confirm your sense that we do live, indeed, in some kind of a “Kafkaesque Fellini movie.”
But on the other hand, as long as there is love and friendship in this world – and I believe that there is, in great abundance – then we human beings have a future, because we have cause for hope -- in each other, according to a standard that is not of our own making....
God’s “measure” is better than, beyond man’s, in other words.
And may He bless you, always.
