This platform is a newborn compared to others out there. So much change will still take place here - but it's not going to happen if everybody just throws their hands in the air and say "f@ckit! I'm joining the dark side cause everybody else does and it's easier".. BE the change..CONSISTENTLY!
You seem like a good guy (I say "seem" because I don't know you from Adam), but your integrity shines through in your posts. Feeling despondent usually comes with feeling overwhelmed but the feeling will pass. Just don't become Sheeple (sheep people). Just following the easier route doesn't make the world a better place. BE the change you want to see.
Sorry for the sermon, but maybe you needed to hear that ;)
