It's a sentiment that looks good on paper, but from where I'm sitting it serves no practical purpose. Whatever the world looks like next year, next week or next century will be the result of opposing ideas and opinions battling it out for superiority. What other people think has a very real and measurable effect on my life. We may not have an innate right to impose our will on others, but we do have a responsibility.
That said, after 30 years of political activism, I guess you've done your bit. I haven't though.
