Some perspective over here:
But I will not accept insinuations that the rabbanim are apathetic. The blogosphere happens to be full of bitter people who need someone to blame and stam people who jump at every opportunity to denigrate the rabbanim, and it should be obvious to everyone that anything gleaned from such sources or anything similar should be taken with a gallon of salt.
Is it possible that they will make mistakes? Absolutely. They are not gods. But they are trying, and that is all we can ask for.
The next thing to do is to find a rabbi you trust and to ask him how to go about helping make the world a better place, through your specific talents and in your specific situation, within the bounds of Halacha.
Then you will be fulfilling your tafkid.
