This is a forum or general chit-chat, small talk, a "hey, how ya doing?" and such. Or hell, get crazy deep on something. Whatever you like.

So how to proceed?
Well, the world will do what the world will do, and I no longer feel it's my responsibility to try to change it - if you fight, you just become another fighter, and there are quite enough of them in the world already without me adding to their ranks. Ultimately the only responsibility we individually have is in choosing how we act individually - all more complex social interactions follow from this.
The trouble is that the politicians and other self-appointed "leaders" who complain that "something must be done" and that we must "fight for what's right", seem to be the ones least able to achieve an outcome that's in any way an improvement. I have to conclude that this is because opinions serve no other purpose than to allow people to go round bothering each other with them. I think I'll just stick to anagrams.
But we will never have enough anagrams!
Relevant! Huge, humane brainwave glows!
If you really feel you must set out to change the world, try not to forget what made you want to. All the statesmen and world-shakers out there once felt like you do now - they just got lost along the way.
Power's too heady a trip for most - I'd rather play my bagpipes and laugh at the snow.
Help! Help! The letters won't stay still! Save me!
Nevertheless healthily attempt posts well -
prevalently wealthiest, she's smelt the plot.
This temptress loves wealth - eat plenty. Hell!
The stealthy, split-level's elements wrap hot.

Hee hee. That's a good one. Kind of makes sense if you think about it. It's sort of like talking to Not I.

Lady Orchid, the queen of the anagram,
Hoorah! Quite fancy-handed telegram.
Ha ha! To a deft rhyme, grandiloquence
had hid a hot, fragmentary eloquence.

My issue with topics like this is that those politicians go around and shout what must be done, but never do anything themselves. If you want change, change it yourself. Play the game of life and get yourself into a position to make that change. at least, thats what i plan on doing. Im not a complainer, im a doer. Earth needs its doers along with those idiots and every other kind of person. But we will never have enough anagrams!

I think it's the Confucians who say "If you want to change your country, first change your state. If you want to change your state, first change your town. If you want to change your town, first change your household. If you want to change your household, first change yourself." (There may be some intermediate connections missing, but I like the basic idea)
