We've been damned if we do, damned if we don't as Jaffa alluded.

If no one steps up to shepherd a need, we talk it to death.

If someone steps up, a certain never-satisfied contingent of the electorate blasts the volunteer for being part of some oppressive dictatorship.

The good news is that really is a small number of conspiracy-hunters; bad news is they're loud and have lots of posting time.

I position myself as the representative of considerate do'ers. People who don't care for that shouldn't vote for me. I don't represent naysayers.
