"I remember sitting through many history lessons in the world, and like most people who learn about certain obvious mistakes in history, I would think, 'Why were they all so stupid? How come no one stopped this? How could they not see what they were doing was against their own interests?'

"Now, I am learning the answer. I am living in one of those times. And I am typing this comment. That is all I feel like I can really do. Protesters get arrested, politicians have to accept so much money from special interests that no one takes them seriously when they try to create change-so what can one DO to fight simple, blatant idiocy?"
