That's if you believe in the following:
1) The value of empty symbolic BS that has no effect at all, on anything
2) The change you are looking for involves volunteerism and not a change in policy
Michael Moore - hero to all - has a great chapter on one of his books about symbolic BS. Ultimately, it just makes those doing it feel good about themselves, and does little else. He was talking specifically about environmentalists, and how most think they're "doing their part" by recycling or conserving, but in reality, those things don't have any effect whatsoever without policy change. And it hurts the effort for policy change to have a bunch of people who believe in it, but feel like they're doing their part & that's all they need to do....
