"You have a worthy goal, Gem, but not much help on how to achieve it."

My suggestion is this. We (noble human beings) consider our personal spheres of influence and act within those spheres to cause change.

If you have a government office, you can do your job of standing up for principle and stop all the pandering and graft until you lose that position or find enough support from people like me to keep your office.

If you hang out in bars, you can encourage the bar flys to do their part.

If you are a member of one of these SI threads you do what you can to raise the standards here.

If you are in the system you can blow the whistle on the corruption like this ... "providing such information to politically motivated people"

When there are enough of us in all walks of life who are not afraid to stand up for what is right, there will be no rocks for those who crawl on their bellies to hide under... "that's like saying you want to stop the earth from turning." ... Well, its at least like saying we accept our responsibility for dominion.
