Reply #36: And therein lies the problem. Most of us are for the country and its citizens "first and foremost"

(Notice: it is FOREMOST, not "farmost")

Anyone or any group who has made changes for the better throughout history has "complained", and been vilified for it by the status-quo keepers.

Your same words were applied to those who fought for Civil Rights, abolition, environmentalism, the rights of children... the list goes on and on, throughout history.

I came of age during the second wave of feminism, and the very same things were said then, "You're not helping your 'cause'", and worse.

Telling someone who is suffering and working for change that they are "complaining" is RW tactics, and very insensitive and uncaring.

I'm guessing that "doing something every day" involves charity of some sort... we have dealt with homelessness with charity now for over 30 years, and you may have noticed it isn't getting better -- it is getting worse by leaps and bounds.

The true struggle is always for JUSTICE, and when your party decides that is important to them, THEN the "change" will happen.
Not until then.
