Here's the question, specifically, just what kind of reforms can 'we' the 
people on this board (for starters) make to create a viable and visible 
change within the framework of our government?  I'm not talking about 
broad sweeping generalizations like:  Clean up the environment, reduce 
urban crime and all that meaningless, politically right litany.  It's 
hollow, it's garbage, it makes you sound cool and sincere, but it doesn't 
do or help shit!  Talk's cheap.  I'm in no position to create legislative 
social reforms and niether is anyone else on this board, so it's pointless 
to talk about it.  
  
I'm talking about something on a smaller scale.  Something that could make 
a positive impact on the immediate.  I'm not trying to start a fight, I've 
been sincerely trying to figure this one out for a long time.

I haven't thought of anything practical to date.  Sure, I could load the 
shotgun, walk down the street, and shoot anybody that seemed like an 
asshole.  But, I probably wouldn't get very far, and besides, I'd probably 
have to shoot myself too :-)

*Maedhros smiles as, for once the board unanimously agrees on something*

I'm fucking sick to the point of puking having to listen to the Yuppies of 
Atlanta claim their neo-hippy roots, espousing brotherly love and 
political correctness.  Give a can of soup to the homeless on Thanksgiving 
Day and plant a tree--It makes me want to stick a barrel up there noses 
and wallpaper my bathroom with their brains!  Get a clue, I live in this 
crap.

Ah well, if all of Rome had but one Head.
