^^ I hear you. I have a job. It pays quite well. But I'm stretched so thin it's ridiculous. It's difficult not to despair. But I keep keepin' on.
My question for the great and powerful board is this: what do you do on a local level? If the political system is so dumb, so numb to reality, how do you conceive of making a difference where you live -- and I don't just mean for you and yours -- for your community?
The reason I'd ask such a question is that "our" politicians seem to act in the best of interests of who knows what. They're not acting in my best interest. And I have no faith whatsoever in the notion that sending them my thoughts on any matter actually matters. Using the comment form on their web pages only results in receiving a spammy form letter saying how hard their job is and blah blah blah.
So, besides fomenting some kind of revolution, which would be really hard since they own the majority of the big guns, what do you do?
Ummm so revolution is just right out?
