[QUOTE="DDD, post: 485265, member: 35"] Obviously everyone knows my opinions. It obviously has gotten worse in the past ten years. At one time I was an appointee for a Statewide (divied into districts) volunteer group that had tremendous power to explore and investigate human rights issues. Included in our realm was Department of Juvenile Justice facilities where we had the freedom to show up unannounced in response to a complaint or inquiry. The committee had existed for years as an oversight group. I was appointed by two Governors and it was the most worthwhile volunteer work I ever did. We made a difference as had those before us. Two Governors later the whole committee was edited out of State budgets (we only got reimbursements for travel) and the "job" was turned over to State employees. That was when I began to see the writing on the wall. Fewer and fewer citizens can make an impact and the scope of their impace is being lessened every day. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
