Yes, I signed the petition. No, it’s probably not going to do anything right now. Yes, it’s still important to sign it, if only to keep this up in the public consciousness. At some point, all of the discontent, all the Occupy Wall Streets and petitions and Daily Shows and facebook posts will force the issue, one way or another. As frustrating as it is to be living here right now, think of how much worse it was living on a cotton plantation… or any other previously-accepted form of life.
Change happens. It’s just slow (until it isn’t).
