41. As Chomsky points out...
it is not enough to live a good life in isolation of society. It makes little difference if you, personally recycle, or if you, personally, give to charity. It is best to become involved with a like minded organization that is working to make change on a policy level. Fix on one passion, find a group that is working on it, and join it. Yes, it can be tedious and yes, you can be thrown in with some people that you find odious. But that is not the point. You've got your friends and family to go home to gripe about the tedium and odium. It can also be exhilarating when you experience success.

Quite simply... calling and emailing is not enough. Witness the PR success of the town hall activists.
