Looking for a post

A while back there was a post (or perhaps a comment) from Chuck that talked about public office and how while the common refrain to criticism is "why don't you get elected and change things yourself," that approach is not always in everyone's wheelhouse. I've tried looking for it, but my searches are coming up short. Any leads as to what I'm talking about?

I think I know what you're referring to... I recall one post where the theme was "the future belongs to those who show up" - not sure if that's the one but I've found a couple in this regard: The Gatekeepers - http://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2013/4/29/the-gatekeepers.html Staying Strong - http://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2014/9/21/6sjciaalk9u4itivab8kgd0gis0ogt

I'd run for office if I didn't have to deal with people like me.
