Here we are, just everyday citizens, keeping up the faith by discussing civil participation and these people like Al Gore, Dr. Dot Head, U2, ... come on here asking questions when they are in the position to actually do something.

I just wish they were serious. All they're really looking for is for their own ideas to be endorsed. You KNOW they won't use anything they get here. They are too invested in their own ideas.

Pull your head out you egocentric pig. When was the last time you actually paid attention to the actions of Bono and The Edge? Have you bothered to join One.org yet?
But then again, why would you? It doesn't serve your own needs. Why should you care about anyone else? As long as your pocket book is hefty, your blood is clean of disease and your children are fed, well hey, the world is just perfect.

You are insulting. Don't call anyone Dr. Dot Head if you really want a question answered.

By the way, who isn't in the position to do something to change the status quo in the world, who isn’t?
Anyone with enough guts, commitment and spirit can change the world.
Every revolution starts with single person leaving his chair and saying, "I have had enough, things must change around here and chooses to first change him or her self."
We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

No it's not insulting, and you're terribly misinformed if you think all they do is sit around on Yahoo answers! Each one of them not only has the power to bring great changes to the world, but has proven that they Do those civic-minded things.

"When the people lead, the leaders, they will follow." Ben Harper.
We are / must recognize that our voice, while not as loud in the global discourse, is just as affecting in our own spheres.
Have faith in every small act of kindness, you are a god - you can make bigger differences than I believe you realize,

No, it's not insulting. Since when is freedom of speech insulting? Since when is asking for citizens' input to policy insulting or dumb?

Her question insulted me. The fact that the members of her regime were the first to answer insulted me. Knowing that terrorists are taught to be terrorists from a very young age, and they are denying that fact insults me the most.
