The land use planning process provides a great example of how democratic self‑government is supposed to work.
In fact though, as I did say on the Land Use Report, effective involvement and engagement in the politics that creates our world requires not only the involvement of individuals, but their involvement through an organized effort. Individual, personal involvement can make you a “gadfly.” Connection with a dedicated group, focused on an issue you care about, can really affect the future, and make you and the group a “political” force to be reckoned with.
This is a shorthand way of saying that politics is always a “team sport.”
A little wisdom from experience.
