And some of us think democracy is a really stupid idea.

Mostly, I just focus on internal improvement, since it is something that I can change within myself. Trying to take on the local corrupt buffoon of a government thinking you can rule the city better is a definition of hubris.

It's no more arrogant than starting a company because you think you can make a better product or service than any of your competitors.
