Thank you. This touches me deeply. Thank you.

Careful. Why call BeiYin an arrogant critic? You have missed the point; with your criticism of him and with your calls for "more consideration of the issue to study and develop the answers" and with "progress... can only be made," I assume, by starting another nonprofit and offering 20% of 'good cause' revenue to a professional fundraiser, 50% of 'good cause' revenue for overhead and supervision; and from the remaining 30%, one part goes into "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" inter-NGO activity, another part for meetings and seminars, and if lucky, after grand travel (Rio+20 in June for example), a nickel on every dollar is well-spent. I simply suggest careful rephrasing of your critique to eliminate the "fundamental error of attribution." Thus, a careful examination of the situation and context will refocus on an arrogant critique (I agree); not necessarily an arrogant person.

Your call for study, inefficiency, and obfuscation; the "call for," not you seems typical to me of a statist and collectivist evasion of personal responsibility. The controllers of the contrived two-party syndicate just love it when personal responsibility is diminished. Their left-handed flute player has millions of followers listening to the sweet music and picking up crumbs along the way. The reverse side has a reverse side, as the Japanese proverb goes, so the same tactics are being used with "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" regularity to exert control over your opposite number.

Where am I going with this? The nonpartisan "Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our Country" is a good book for anyone who has had it with our Neopatrimonial Government and would like proof positive in their lifetimes that we're again a functioning republic.
