"I don't think we are actually in the same position. I mean, I am certainly walking a lot blinder than you are in this from what I see. I gotta admit, other than my own powerlessness, I can't see to much ahead of my own feet in this fog."
He takes a look down at his knees, takes a deep breath, and finishes up his thought.
"I guess you could say I am out here right now 'working at making a better change.'"
