A Quote by Noam Chomsky
If you want to make changes in the world, you're going to have to be there day after day doing the boring, straightforward work of getting a couple of people interested and building a slightly bigger organization and carrying out the next move and suffering frustration and finally getting somewhere. That's how the world changes.

The media in the States can be quite self-reflective. When I lived in England, I was much more aware of the day-to-day politics that were happening.
