There's a bit in a Billy Bragg song called Waiting for the Great Leap Forward, where Billy sings;
"If no one out there understands, start your own revolution and cut out the middle man."
And I can't help but think he's entirely correct. If there is something out there you think is wrong, do something about it. It may be that there is already a movement to make this change, but if there is not... well, every movement started with an individual.
It may come to naught. But then again it may end up changing the world. You never can tell...
(The song also contains the line "The revolution is just a t-shirt away", which you can actually get on a t-shirt. I have one. It's great.)
