What Difference Can One Coder Make?
No matter what our political leanings, we all want to make a difference in this world. And we can all agree that as a species, humans are pretty variable. But, since we're not globally defined, all we can really do is act within our local variable scope. And that's just as well, because global variables are crap. You don't want a lot of variables floating out there uncontrolled, cluttering up your namespace and making it possible for more and more code to grow dependent on their existence (and even worse, modify them). Then you end up with cascading side effects, and it's all downhill from there.
So we're okay with the fact that we have local variable scope. Otherwise, our powers might overwhelm the planet. We hate it when that happens.
