Get my point?

I understand you perfectly.
My ancestors fought and died to get to vote and influence the government, and make it serve the people instead of the other way around.

I'll be dead in my grave before I let go of my responsibility to watch.
But I am willing to concede that it currently plays by the rules that were lined out in the beginning. And the only way to keep it like that is to be involved, as you say.

To extend you metaphor, my dog is currently leaving the food alone, while you have to start chasing yours if you want to have any chance of catching it before you lose all hope of recovering your dinner

sorry.
