Trying to make a difference?   So what?  People have been trying to make a
difference ever since people existed.  And today, our water laps the
portholes of our Titanic.

When one's ship is on its way down, the only thing that matters is results.
Rather than wasting time on a make-believe political system, wouldn't it
make more sense to petition the rich directly for relief?
