Chuck:
Unless and until we can show folk that merely playing the victim won't gain them much (if at all) in this near recession like siuation more than our folk are having a difficult (if not impossible) time coping and dealing the midst of?
Unless and until we face up to the fact those schools and suchlike continue to be run and propped up on the basis of ideas and viewpoints which weren't meant to advance our and our peoples best interests to begin with?
Unless and until more of us move our judgement calls above and beyond what is merely 'acceptable' at the moment (or being hyped by a mass media we hardly control the content of etc.) and do our own homework (be it seek out articles ala the internet or newspaper sources we did or do find reliable sources of information on the subjects we claim to be so concerned and worried about)?
Unless and until more of us begin the realize and recognize that 'getting involved' isn't just an 'option' (for a few ) as well as should be a necessity for us all?
Until the way most (if not all) of us think and act these days goes from mere reaction and overreaction (to the alleged slights or real threats others direct our way) to us being pro-active (as regards self help efforts to iimprove the places and spaces we live in)?
Then nothing will change anytime soon!
Change folks thinking and their actions will reflect it!!
