It's people like you (that's sounds offensive, I'm not trying to be) who by maintaining the current state of affairs, even though they are unhappy with it, make change very difficult.
That's not true. You are confusing meekness with being realistic.
I am one of those people who try to help out causes that I believe in. In fact, I did just that at six o'clock this morning. I am by no means complacent.
