Who will solve the problems?

My reply to a blog post regarding energy issues:

I think that counting on the government to solve anything is probably not a good focus. At present it is largely just a big loud group of people name-calling and pointing fingers at one another while the world continues to have issues that get worse. That is the nature of politics and I'm not sure that will change. 

 

Ever see that Dr. Seuss cartoon where the two little guys walking in two different directions end up face to face with neither one willing to move so that they can both continue on their paths? In the end highways and cities get built up all around them as they continue to stare at each other obstinately. 

 

That's how I see politics...Personally, I think it will be the power of those who walk away from that debate and use their God-given talents to press into these issues together with other folks tired of the game. We, the people will get it done and the rest will eventually look up from their fighting long enough to realize that things have changed and progress has been made. 

 

Let's start tapping the shoulders of people watching or participating in the train wreck of politics and invite them over to participate in the problem solving conversation. If big wigs decide to join in, all the merrier...

 

As always this is all just IMHO.
