But don't assume that the past is future. Of course we can put a stop to it, not me or you, but WE. And because WE can, not some group of hackers we hope will charitably arrive to save us, we have a duty to.

The first step is to personally refuse to accept the continuation of corruption. Don't say it's hopeless -- that's surrender. Tell yourself "no, I won't accept this" right there at home. It really is a step.
