I disagree. I've been accused of being a half-empty kind of guy, but I think that wasting time and effort chipping off a stone will only draw your attention away from the goal -- to topple the mountain entirely. Without any sort of plan to tackle the mountain completely, chipping off a stone is nothing but an attempt to look busy in time for the next election.

However, chipping off a stone as an incremental step to a larger plan would be something productive and meaningful. From what I've seen and heard so far, no such plan exists.
