Our politicians offer us short-term solutions that depend on the avarice and ignorance of a critical mass of voters. So to get change, we must transform ourselves.

The realist in me thinks that's not going to happen until it's too late. I do believe it is the blind leading the blind. Their (the politicians') inculpable negligence is leading us all off the edge of a cliff. Some might have come prepared with sufficient rope, but do they have enough to rescue everyone? I think we all know the unfortunate answer.
