It's one thing to completely bash it after the fact, but if it was becoming such a problem in all of your eye's, then why did no one do anything about it? You can't expect a situation to get better if you don't make an attempt to confront it.

That instantly reminds me of the commercial on TV where 4 girls are standing in a ladies room complaining about how so much water is being wasted from the faucet running, & they all are talking & agreeing that someone should do something about it, but none of them do until a 5th woman finally comes over who heard them talking, & shuts it off.

And then the orginal 4 all walk away (sheepishly) because someone finally "stepped up" & took care of the problem, while the girl who shut it off just smiles.

Then there is some kind of tag line about taking action to solve a problem, & not just talking about it or something.

I know that's a little off tangent, but when I read your reply, I thought of that & thought it was relative.
