That's a bit naive.  Consider the idiots who drive on
the road, or (heh, heh) vote.

While I agree in spirit here, most of my life is spent
dealing with other people's problems.  It's just the
way that modern society works.

Like Dave F. I sure as heck wish that "civic responsibility"
was something that was a part of our society.  But it really
just isn't.
