“While your point about it being up to our leaders to show us where we should be going is correct, it’s worth noting that in free societies, leadership reflects the will of a people, and changes with it.”

You’re right. We’re both right. I do look for examples in the leadership tier of our race because I think it’s needful for those who’ve never given any thought to the need for personal growth, or evolution. But, without change on an individual level, there’s little any leadership can do.

So elaborate on this for a bit, if you will: Why aren’t we, as individuals, clamoring for an end to the Darfur catastrophe? Why aren’t we insisting on hydrogen fuel technology? If we all agree that these things are needful, and if that’s all it takes to convince our leaders to act, what’s holding things up?
