   <description>2008-08-26 17:34: comment by rishi on &amp;quot;emorial or merica&amp;quot;:&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;his is an excellent and insightful post.  t reflects the kind of real caring which is necessary to change this illin&amp;#039; world for the better.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;eople expect politicians to &amp;quot;somehow&amp;quot; legislate the needed solutions for the errors of modern civlization.  ut the solutions are not really legislatable, which means there is no political remedy, making political parties basically irrelevant.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;he  solution to the ills of the modern lie with the people, now and forever.  ince our votes count for nothing, and this is not a democracy, the only &amp;quot;vote&amp;quot; that counts for anything is how you and  and every other individual lives their daily life.  &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;t is a healthy lifestyle that &amp;quot;votes&amp;quot; with any effectiveness, due to the simple law of supply and demand.  ealthy lives promote clean and progressive practices and industries. </description>
