Then in a large sense, you are taking the existing problems with
you. I prefer working on the roots of problems rather than trying
quick fixes.
Some of the attitudes I've seen here, talking about the 'masses as
idiots' depress me. If I carried that elite-ist attitude too, then for
sure, my future long-life will be a very lonely life.
