Flag burning gets the attention it does, because to address flag burning, they don't need to reform a current infrastructure, they don't need to fund research to make it happen, they get to just talk about a highly charged issue, and look good when they say "I agree, its not a good thing..... blah blah blah." Droning on about that issue makes it look as though they care about doing something while in office.

I agree with Rabbit, getting out and highlighting the issues at hand, that is the best way to motivate people for change.

The #1 roadblock that will be encounted when making fundemental change in any of our government supported systems, e.g. education, heath care, is tax reform.
