§ While I'm not worthy to criticize the great Bertolt Brecht I have to say I disagree. The truth is that no matter where you go – and all throughout history - most people do not want to study and toil and fight to keep their leaders on track. They want to live their lives. That’s it. They want to work and spend time with their families, have a little fun, eat a nice meal, love and chat. There is nothing wrong with that. Sadly, the powerful will always take advantage of that basic human truth. But the answer isn’t to expect everyone of become aware and educated about public policy and get involved. It’s up to us. Those of who do want to put in the time and energy and passion to get involved. It’s our job. When we realize how few of us there actually are, we can’t get discouraged; we need to use that to get even more motivated. We need to work that much harder on behalf of all our neighbors. I’m not the least bit interested in joining the PTO, but I’m damn glad there are others who are. I benefit from their efforts, even though I contribute nothing. We each have a role to play in this world. Don't curse those who have a different part to play. Do your thing like a man or woman possessed so everyone else can do theirs without fear or limits.
