But there is still no end-game in sight for trying to protest this. People aren't completely apathetic, they simply don't care about stuff like this. So there is nothing to be gained by shouting loudly at the wind. The wind certainly doesn't care.

With all the problems we have today, why not shout loudly about something wherein we make a difference?

Funny that the appropriate sigline came up for this post. If you're going to commit to something, commit to something wherein you make a difference. Hmm, sounds like a new sigline may be taking shape. I'll have to mull that one over.
