Gar, you're arguing rationally. I'm afraid that, for some, it's a bedrock belief that nothing can change until everything changes, but since we can't make everything change, we just have to watch it all go by. Unless something Really Big takes us by surprise, but there's no way to increase the odds of that happening.
