People needed to get involved in the 90's when power players were buying up all the locally owned media companies.

Everybody was too busy and tired to get involved when it mattered, and, unfortunately, I think it is too late now.

At this point, if you want a change, it will be dishearteningly slow. You'll have to start electing good,unwavering people at the most basic levels of local government. Then, those good people will have to start working their way up the ranks, which is difficult for someone not willing to sell out.

I'd suggest everybody just doing their thing like they've always done.

Spot on. Couldn't have said it better, its the last part that I haven't reconciled though. Yeah its probably way too late to do anything, haven't totally thrown in the towel yet though.
