Self Starting Change

I've been thinking about all the hope that people are throwing into this coming election, and Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and coming to realize that even if they are elected (and they are all they promise us they are) it wont be enough.

There has to be enough democratic spirit in enough of us tro be able to realize our needs and our hopes. Even if Obama gets in he may not be able to sweep in change because enough of us in the US don't really want it change - and the rest of us may not want change strongly enough to fight for it.

That's the question.

Are we ready as a nation to individually and collectively fight for what we want? We can't rely on just one, or even a few, individuals.
