Apathetic whiners will kill this country. We all sit around complaining waiting for 'somebody else' to fix our problems. We grumble and complain about how "they" (meaning government) should get their act together and improve schools, fix roads, whatever the gripe of the day is. Get involved, people! We are the "they" that needs to get busy.
It's so easy to sit back and complain. Before you go popping off your mouth whining about whatever injustice you think you're experiencing, get off your ass and volunteer for a committee that directly effects your cause and be part of the solution. Believe me. Volunteers on all levels are needed.
As head of several volunteer committees, I listen to complaints from the general public on a daily basis. Some of them are justified, some of them not. After I listen to a complainer rant, I offer a position on the committee that directly deals with the issue they're complaining about. Dead silence. The conversation usually takes the direction of how the complainer doesn't have any time, resources, etc. and ends abruptly.
Dealing with politics and policy takes effort, time, and involvement. There simply is no other way. Get out and vote, no matter what your political beliefs are. There is no one person who can fix your problems for you without any effort on your part.
