30. I definitely do not expect the energy corps to lead. I do
expect the people we elect to lead. Apparently they haven't been doing that. This is big enough that it may rouse the people out of their apathy and motivate them to start making demands of their politicians. In fact, it may very well spark a movement. People ARE angry, more than I've ever seen them about anything else.

We'll see. But history has lots of examples of what appeared to be impossible, becoming possible when the people were motivated enough. This may be the spark that was needed on top of the Coal Mine disasters. Anger, justifiable anger properly directed can accomplish a lot. It is a natural emotion and in this case, more than justified.
