It seems to me most political movements, whether Rush Limbaugh or Occupy Wall St or even Anonymous, are like this.
They find things that aren't working. Great. Like you say, "Get in line."
But a plan? It's either a variation of what we've already got, or a very idealistic "solution" that doesn't account for all the necessary parts of a society.
It's why people like me are so cynical. It's not apathy. It's the opposite. It's heartbreak and as a result, withdrawal in frustration, confusion and self-loathing.
