How sad, if all there is to do is to change myself then the great American
experiment, our form of representative democracy, is an abismal failure.
Now, by myself, I may not be able to move the behavior of governments, but
I and I and I (read I and you and you...) should be able to. Isn't this
collective action one of the foundations of a Learning Organization?

Having a common goal, agreeing to action to attain the goal and learning
what works.
