And when, pray tell, will that begin? I'm afraid I have to agree with the parent's overall assessment of the situation. The problems are endemic to the systems currently in place, which are self-defensive and won't be reformed without a bloody fight. We've seen how the attempts thus far have gone and in some cases they've only made things worse. I hold out hope that it is still possible to fix things, but I estimate the odds of it actually occurring as very slim.
