I would say this

'Why Don't You....Switch off your TV set, and do something less boring instead'

readers in the UK over the age of 30 will remember this line :-)

I would ask them what would make them happy....
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you think you deserve?

Then I would ask if they were happy....

Then I would tell them what I thought about it....my take on it....and would then talk about getting the common wants needs and rights we both think must be met. First by working out a way of obtaining those things and then having others agree untill a MAJORITY of us ALL decide on a set of realistic common goals we as a group share and can achieve.....It is a good idea in so far as civil power.Think localy and this sort of door to door aproach can actually work....by not pushing an agenda but rather making a conection between the people of a comunity and the direct means to obtaining those common goals...we as a people have an unending platform to voice our 2 cents.....eachother.

happens all the time.....it would be easy to create a network of sub comunities paralel to Government without the need for separate Government funding or intervention.....those comunities would already have an alloted budget for infrastructure and public spending.....it is only a question of not having Government out rule a democratically achieved decision....public outcry....demand.....needs wants and rights of the people....deciding how that Governemt money is made, then spent, and the level of intervention the people are actually willing to tolorate before those very same needs,wants, and rights are infringed upon. All this based on a directly democratic system of local power up.....you would be amazed what 15 minutes with 15 people can achieve
