Giant Groups of People Change the World

RE-POSTED FROM MY FACEBOOK NOTE --

A bunch of farmers and scholars banded together and kicked the crap out of the mighty British Empire. Then a bunch of painters, mimes, and whatever else the French do took down the French monarchy. Then a bunch of women earned the right to vote. Then a bunch of people earned equal rights for all races. Then a bunch of people elected a black man president.

Now, there's genocide in Darfur and elsewhere, a corrupt economy that's destroying us while CEO's get richer, and bands upon bands of terrorists still want to blow us up.

So by all means, let's plan a Facebook walk out. Way to waste democracy.
