  Thanks! As were your comments! I admittedly glossed over these issues in the post, but I didn't want to dwell on them because I thought it might detract from the overall message.

I might delve into the topics you mentioned a bit in future posts. One thing that I think drives people crazy is the whole "change the world" rhetoric in general. It might be useful to explore what that actually means.
