A little fault with our generation today is, we don't read as much as we should. I know the story of romeo and juliet but I have never read the play, I know of someone who was called Confucios but I cannot recall a single word of wisdom.
Its with this premise i point out a sentence from a famous Nicholas Cage Movie (Lord Of War).
'Evil prevails when good men fail to Act.
Poetic as these words are, I cannot base my life or career behind them. Most of us give ourselves the title of good men but we probably wouldn't quit our jobs because the company we work for employs slave labour in harvesting its crops, we wouldn't boycott the purchase of a product because some kids in china are in sweatshops making them for meagre wages etc.

Don't think, not for one second that a person in authority would like the status quo to change. This is simply because it's either profitable or more comfortable for them. How many politicians have been elected to lead certain areas and left 20 years later with the people still living in the same conditions. I am sure you can name enough while others others have even left their constituents worse off, this simply put is to keep the dump people dumb so that they keep repeating the same mistake over and over again and depending on people who do not deserve their trust.
We are already too comfortable with the status quo and most of us would very much like to move up the ladder to that corner office, that expense account, the big house on the hill and the big chauffer driven car.
Closing arguments, those with power to effect change are profiting from the evil while those willing to effect change are broken and find themselves trying to be like them.
If you are not part of the solution then you are deifinitely part of the problem. How about instead of chasing rallies and spending hours under the hot sun to listen to someone who has shown up in an air conditioned range, learn something real and make yourself better. Read, they haven't made it illegal yet but they are working on it.
