Your response illustrates why many or most med school grads, such as you claim to be, aren't worth a crap in a civil conflict, let alone a street fight such as the one facing our nation.
When you advise us to "keep up the pointless work" and ask, "what now?", did you miss the fact there were reportedly government reps from 50 states in the room? Many of those reps now have a better grasp of the obvious and hopefully will screw up the courage to do something about it.
At the end, the politicians present said they will be keeping in touch with each other. They know they’re not alone now and will be looking into their own state’s issues since they became more knowledgeable about the problems. The Cyber Symposium brought all these people together, educated them, and inspired them. People may laugh at the “Pillow Guy,” but he is doing a lot of good. More than posting on a blog.
