When you change yourself, you change the world. You influence those around you. It seems like you'd rather be complacent like the majority. Of course a public messaging board will have people just yapping with little action. The real effort & action is happening locally in your towns and city council meetings. You have to get out there and find those groups that are willing to put in that effort & not be complacent. If there isn't a group, let yourself be the spark. It's exhausting and sucks sometimes but seeing it grow with real change at the local level is beautiful.
