Wanted: A lever to move the world

If one wanted to become a committed activist of some kind to Make the World a Better Place, the range of options is staggering. If I were faced with such dilemmas, I think I would be handicapped by (among other things)a certain subliminally acquired consumerist mentality...Unless I could break out of that mentality, the process of choosing a cause would resemble the same process a body might have to go through to choose a soap powder from amongst the vast array offered in supermarkets. One problem with choosing a cause in that way is that, unlike soap powders, there are significant differences between the various causes. There has got to be a way to make an intelligent choice.

(I believe I promised in a too long ago post, that I would do a continuation of that post--something to do with theology, I think. I will keep the promise, but right now I have other things on my mind.
