^ you're an optimist.
you're forgetting about the North Atlantic Current - the great water cooler of the Atlantic Ocean.
I prefer to be a pessimist, this way if things don't work out then you're prepared for it.
and if they do work out then you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The difference that us as single individuals make when it comes to changing the outlook of or lifetimes is astoundingly minute. Only by creating a large social drive - which can be done from just a few people and hard work - can lead to a true change of the forthcoming events.
Change would have to scale up from the already exzist ant , but collectively.
A mere twenty people would be sufficient to change the mentality and demeanor of a medium sized town. A single medium sized town could influence a city as large as New York City (if in close enough proximity) and from there propel to a state level and then a national level. The fault with any of our nations is not that there are insufficient numbers, but rather that the numbers aren't localized and organized enough to effect the social changes that are required of us. This is how changes on a social level have occurred throughout history.
I'd be happy to elaborate but I'm recalling the "posting and you" thread and so I'll merely stop rambling for now.
