On almost every issue; i agree completely with that attitude. However, if we're talking about changing behaviour that is a major source of pollution, a chronic waste of our dwindling resources, unhealthy and antisocial... then perhaps, just maybe, we should be giving 'em a bit of a prod? i'm proud to note that Mayor Ken of London is pushing ahead with plans for congestion charging despite much opposition.

Proud? Voting for Ken was the first time i ever voted for a politician (every other time i spoiled my ballot with "None of the above!"), and one of the main reasons for that vote was to support congestion charging (as well as try to stop the tube sell-off, which he's still trying to do).
