The work of making this world resemble one that you would prefer to live in is a lunch pail f-king job, day in and day out, where thousands of committed, anonymous, smart, and dedicated people bang on closed doors and pick up those that are fallen and grind away on issues until they get a positive result. And, even then, have to stay on to make sure that result holds.
