"the system" is a creation of the powerful; and while nominally the people have a voice in this constitutional republic, the strings of control are tenuously attached.

Yes, but the original "powerful" designed a system with the people as its core (ie: Congress, freedom of speech, right of assembly). What we in this day and age have forgotten is that we also have the responsibility to exercise the power our Founders fought to give us.

Never underestimate the power of even one voice, rational in thought and rooted in democratic principles.

Please. Do not despair. Your help is needed.

Whatever gave you the idea that I am in desperation? Damn right I have powers, and rights, and responsibilities. I'm more vocal than most, to boot ;-)

I'd characterize my state of mind as generally clear, and seeing the absence of proper respect for the sanctity of life for what it is.
