I disagree. As human beings, we can change the direction of not just our lives but those who are around us.
A drug addict does not have to die from the use but if he only goes in that one direction he will. If he makes conscience effort and changes his direction he can live a fulfilled life.
Our country is the same way, we can sit and be docile and say "that's just the way things are" or we can start demanding change.
The "Tea Parties" may not be big, but they may awaken more people who decide to do something and they participate in demonstrations the next time and that awakens more people and so on.
The Civil Rights Movement did not just happen over night, the Vietnam demonstrations did not just happen over night, the ERA movement did not just happen over night. Nothing just happens over night... change true change takes time, it starts with a few voices that awaken a few more that awaken a few more, until enough people have tested the waters and the rest see it's ok and jump in.
This is America, try as the government may and the media wants us to believe it is foolish and we who speak out are freaks and fringe people... America has not yet had it's Tienanmen Square. Hopefully, we never will... however, it may take that to truly awaken people.
When we become a nation more scared of government than government scared of the people..... we need change because that is not what these United States is supposed to be not should it ever be.
Our founding fathers believed this and risked everything to fight for a government scared of the people and thus would do the right thing. We today sit losing everything scared of what government may do to us, of what our neighbors may think of us and scared that it is just "me" feeling this way and no one else does, at least not "normal people" the media and government tell me that.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE. OPENNESS IN GOVERNMENT. DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD.
