Oh, my lord, you are such a kibitzer, Carrol. For someone so committed to political action, you spend an awful lot of time indoors expressing your opinions to those disdain as being interested only in opinion. And at length and very passionately, too. Precisely about "what's wrong" and "what should be". FWIW, and if it will keep you from going over the edge, most everyone here is concerned about political power, and many, I am sure, attend meetings and demonstrations and communicate with their neighbours and workmates with the same frequency as you do.
