Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It must be sad for the people who dedicate their lives to slow-change to see everything get steamrolled by a quick-fix-salesman dictator. Do you have faith in this kind of approach or do you think it's more of a "better than nothing" longshot? Maybe it's the kind of thing where it can't really be done for big, politically "hot" issues, but for other, niche problems that are less visible to the news-watching layman, it's still an effective way of making change?
