Good advice. I’m going to do that right now.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Plant herbs in a windowbox?

Seriously, I know what you mean. It seems like the way things are is so entrenched that it will never change.

Herbs in a windowbox today; deconstruct corporate capitalism next week. :-)

Society does change, although sometimes it’s hard to tell when you’re living your life right in the middle of it. Things look different now from the way they did twenty or fifty or a hundred or two hundred years ago (not always for the better, but not always for the worse either). And sometimes change comes faster than expected (see: marriage equality in the US).

“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.” – Ursula K. Le Guin
