In a few words, the biggest problem I see is people NOT taking responsibility. Not for their actions, or their words, or even their children. Now, for some elaboration. Abdicating responsibility is the act of an emotionally immature person. Never assume t he Government, or anyone else, will fix your problems.
Most people think one way and act another.
Paying lip service to Civility won't work. I certainly am not perfect in this res pect, but my life has begun to receive a certain power flowing from assuming responsibility for my actions. I try not to blame other people for problems they didn't create, or for problems I inadverdantly caused. I believe there certainly exists a power in this universe similar to what George Lucas called the Force. It binds us, and contains us, but it also responds to our Will.
