Just a quick addition to my post a few days ago...
On the international collaboration project "1 Giant Leap" is a rapper named Maxi Jazz. I finally decided to hunt down some of his work, specifically with the British electronica group Faithless, and found a song that summed up what I was trying to say, but a whole lot better. You can view the music videohere.
Specifically, the lyrics I'm especially interested in are from the second verse, which I've reprinted below:
"Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There's only now, do it right."
Faithless - Mass Destruction
