I don't think it should be up to a select few, I am for educating people so they recognize this issue. The change has to be democratic or it will never work. There are people trying to do just that right now, organizations devoted to this sort of thing. But, they are constantly being fought against by the political parties. In this game, money wins, and I'll let you guess who has more money.
