  What exactly do these complaining people expect? For all of the world's major problems to be solved in three days?

  As reported by Fuji TV; the highlight of the summit (According to the British Contingent) was Bush's birthday.

  In other words, the summit was little more than a 3-day party with photo-ops.

  This comes as no surprise to me at all. I think the whole world knew this before the event. - Meanwhile, we are all still paying 180yen per liter of gas. Happy birthday Georgy!

  I didn't expect much from the G8. More talk, more photo ops. And no real change or results. Pretty much as expected.

  If you want change to the world, you cannot wait around for governments to do the right thing. We must raise our voices and become personally involved. How we shop and spend our money is a powerful influence. And our capacity to protest, strike and use our votes to drive change are also powerful if we bother to use them.

  We can bring change, but only if we are willing to do something ourselves. The real responsibility is ours.
