I have a similar complaint about sports fans. I'm not saying they shouldn't watch sports at all. But it would be nice if sports fans devoted a fraction of that energy for sports attention to say, filing a Freedom of Information Act request with an agency of their choice.

Just imagine what could be learned if millions of sports fans decided to make collecting, collating and sharing government information a hobby. Gosh, the government might actually be accountable. Or at least they might reel it in (whatever it is) due to scrutiny.
