I suppose it's just a difference in phrasing things. I believe people can change anything, themselves, the world, the future, society itself, while from your posts I sensed that you agreed with that except for the society bit. I posted the little thing about "Google" because they fundementally changed the way society surfs the net and through my eyes, anyone can do that. That's the difference I gather, but we're more together than in disagreement to be sure.

I'm not sure if you can ask for a vote on how the government works directly, but I believe we can petition our local Senate or House of Rep member with these thoughts and that they can in turn sign a petition, but of course, that hinges on whether your Congressperson shares your ideas in the first place. There are probably other ways to go about it as well, but that's the quickest route to the best of my knowledge, though it's none too quick in actuality either.

Otherwise, we can just hope that the government decides to do this itself, or else come next election, we as a country realize that we must make a batter effort abroad or else run the risk of further alienation.

Take care all.
