You have wonderful, almost utopian ideas and if our democracy had better ways to induce our people to act together on behalf of their own interests, they could accomplish everything you describe and much more. But how can that be done? The general intertia is so huge and the rejection of any political involvement so profound and widespread that it’s difficult to see how the kind of participation you (and I) want can possibly come about. The Internet has provided the tools but where will the motivation come from? Most people don’t know how to inform themselves and many don’t even vote. How you written anything on how real political involvement of numbers of indifferent or negative people can be achieved? I believe this is the main purpose of ActivistSolutions.org, and many other public forms. But if anyone has succeeded, I sure wish they’d say how they did it. For now, you’re right—procuring what needs to be done is not the problem. How to activate people to get interested is the issue.
