BUT - I see the problem more as a "THEY - WE - SYNDROME"
This is just another way of exemplifying the APATHY of ALL AMERICANS - the general tendency to simply BLAME by labeling - THEY did this, or did that! THEY failed to do this or that! WE did, or didn't do this or that!
WHERE IS THE "I" FACTOR? The PERSONAL "I" acceptance of responsibility - did I MAKE the time MYSELF, to write some truths like ED KOSTRO always does? Did I MAKE the effort to CALL or WRITE MY: Congressman, or Governor, or State Senator, or Mayor, or City or County Council-member? DID I? DID I FAIL TO?
Or, do I simply sit back, and do NOTHING? Oh, to be sure - I AGREE with what YOU say, and I give you LIP SERVICE - just like all the proverbial "WE's and THEY's" -
BUT - I'M TOO BUSY IN MY LITTLE WORLD OF STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY PERSONALLY - AND ACTUALLY 'DO" SOMETHING ABOUT "ANYTHING!"
Each and Every Individual "I" needs to leave the comfort zone of Each and Every Ego-centric Existence, and ACT - to intentionally BECOME a Team Member, to actually and consciously FORM the "WE" TEAM!
"UNITED WE STAND - DIVIDED WE FALL" - this is NOT news! This is NOT automatic! This is NOT supposed to be just a nice "CATCH PHRASE" -
BUT - Each and Every "I" has ALLOWED it to become relegated to a mere OLD DEAD LEGEND - just like that other phrase - "LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!"
If "I" don't like what's going on, then "I" have to get off MY DEAD ARSE, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Some soul-searching is REQUIRED - exactly WHAT am I willing to SACRIFICE PERSONALLY - in order to be part of the SOLUTION, rather than the REASON FOR THE PROBLEM?
"TIME - TALENT - TREASURY" -- Many years ago, that was the THEME of a Catholic Church DRIVE for STEWARDSHIP ... How much of EACH am "I" willing to PLEDGE?
