I think this comment hones in on not just this problem, but a lot of problems we face in the modern world. We have plenty of issues to get up in arms about, and do, but the tasks are so colossal and the adversaries seem to much more powerful that I think the average person does not understand what they can do, besides be mad. And this causes these events to seem like fleeting passions. Sure, we can call senators, but they already know we are upset. Complaints just fall on empty ears. Sure, we can vote in other representatives, but the choices are limited. We can become representatives, but I think people feel that they will be squashed or do not really want to be that involved in politics.

So what do we do? Complain?
