I am of the pessimistic view that such a mindset-shift isn't possible without massive and devastating upheaval of society. Such as a war or economic-collapse.

We had a glimpse of what's possible under the previous administration when there was a major disruption. I want to hope - and I'm trying to be the change - infuse each action with that intention. Change is made up of moments. And we can choose to hope.

Actually that's an optimistic view isn't it? I think history suggests that such events drive people to authoritarian forms of Govt.
