Ya know, I don't worry about it too much. I do what I can to make it better, but there's no point being miserable about something I've got no control over. Being in NZ has helped a lot, since my adopted govt is quite a bit less obnoxious.

Completely off topic, but you still interested in doing web design for unitarians.org.nz? I'm thinking I really should get off my ass and do something about it. :)
