Unfortunately, were we to take one or two reality pills things might look a bit more....well, real. How many individuals have changed the world in our lifetimes? Mother Teresa, Adolph Hitler, Jonas Salk, Nixon, Ho Chi Minh, FDR, Reagan, Martin Luther King, James Earl Ray, JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald...The list is endless, but none there with a camera. You certainly have done your share but the world hasn't changed. I don't think the attitude is bad, but world changers better be ready for the big crash.
