6. Oh please. In reality, it sounds like nothing is getting done. Words words words and no legislation.

Of course it's shouting. Lots of excuse-making but no action. Lots of finger pointing but no action. Lots of blame and accusations, but no action. Where's the action? Where's the legislation? Where are the incremental steps that take us in the right direction?

Actually, "I imagine" that the shouting is a satisfying response to those who are more comfortable with complaining rather than doing, or who are willing to blame others rather than take charge. It's the bare minimum. Can you think of anything else that would be better? I can. And, what's this "catalyst" are you talking about? Seriously? Clearly, when chronic scolding hasn't accomplished anything in the past 30 years, then it's time for a new approach, no? As I said before, I have higher standards. In the real world, things get done with our elected representatives take action and make hard decisions and strike difficult deals and compromises. I want to see results. Let's be realistic, chronic complaining and never DOING anything meaningful is one of the ACTUAL reasons for the "status quo". It's time to try a different approach. The legislation won't write itself, will it? We need leaders who will take the initiative to get things done. This approach isn't working. It hasn't and it won't.
