      It’s not that you can’t, just that you shouldn’t unless you really, really think about what you’re going to change and do your due diligence. Otherwise, whatever the system is doing and whoever depends on it could get screwed over when someone makes a fucky-wucky because they didn’t do their homework.

    People will bully and right out assault you for it but yes, thats pretty much my life motto.

    Improving things starts with seeing and speaking no matter how many folks really dont want to hear it.

      Mine is similar: to make the world a better place, you have to be better than the world. It gives me motivation and guidance when in crappy situations where I feel like fighting back, but doing so would only continue the cycle of anger.

    Absolutely, though I do wish more of the public and local governments would follow this type of mentality. Seems like most local towns and cities have lost this.

    Seems like everything’s more along the lines of “if it’s not completely broken, then don’t bother fixing or even improving it.”

      I hate the phrase “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. There are so many things that work like shit that could easily be better without ruining anything.

    However, being dissatisfied and talking about how bad things are isn’t sufficient to make anything better.

    The first step to solving a problem is recognizing that you have a problem.

    But that’s only the first step. If you aren’t identifying that problem in specific terms (not vague generalities) and also proposing a solution (again not vague, and preferably SMART) then you are just complaining.
