- Like hell we do. To often people are content to sit and gripe and moan, and
- when push comes to shove, not DO anything. This is not to imply EVERYONE,
- but enough people such that action is taken pretty much by a minority, a
- minority that alot of times takes the most extreme views of an issue and
- stands on the old soapbox. The one thing I have learned is that the idea of
- HAVING to do ANYTHING is often a false one. Poeple are content in their
- ways.
