And do what, exactly? The belief that a bunch of comitted individuals -- you know the line -- is perhaps the biggest delusion still alive in this country. By "accepting responsibility" Bush in fact said "yeah I am responsible for that mess, and what are you going to do about that?" Because the answer to it - Nothing!. A bunch of "committed citizens" can get pissed, camp out under door of a politico for a while, hurl a few obscenities, perhaps get drunk and then go back home accomplishing nothing!.

The only change that will ever come is when the more enlightened parts of the elite wants to pursue it, and their reactionary opponents are in disarray and on their knees, as it was the case of the Great Depression. No other change took place here or elsewhere. Those who think otherwise are deluding themselves.
