Reform - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Reform;
We all seem to want to reform something these days. It’s the latest word of the era, reform healthcare; reform Wall Street, reform banks, reform auto companies, reform big business, reform immigration, reform, reform, reform!
Here’s my take on the word “reform”;
It’s a vague language that admits a problem without calling attention to the problem. It’s a week attempt to fix something that doesn’t work for everyone while allowing those who want “reform” to escape the responsibility of the problem while seeming as if they are part of the solution but are really the bigger part of the problem.
Yelling “reform”, IMO, is a lame way to say “I’m not happy, someone else fix it!”
If you want to “reform” something then start with yourself and stop calling on the politicians (who we already know do not help citizens of the USA and need reforming) to fix a problem that we know had a larger hand in creating. (Hey Mr. Wolf, something is eating our sheep, would you watch them?)
Just my thought, comment if you want but I’ve said my piece.
