[Dialogue] [Oe List ...] Wrong about social change??

[jlepps@pc.jaring.my via Dialogue]

False.

Change rarely happens by trying to make other 
people do something. It's a do-it-yourself 
operation. "Whoever sees the need, does the 
deed." "D-O-O-P" was a project mantra (Do Our Own 
Project). Or, as we once said, "If you're waiting 
for the government to make the changes you want, 
you have a long wait ahead" or something like that.

It does require organizing people, not to hold 
representatives responsible, but to get the work done.
