How Easy It Is..

  • To play the part of a political firebrand from a comfy armchair in Starbucks.
  • To demand equality for the people when you're benefiting the most from the status quo.
  • To forget that middleclassdom does not automatically give you the right (even though it gives you the free time) to 'defend the less fortunate'
  • To howl for change when you refuse to sacrifice anything for it.
  • To demand better schools, roads, clinics but refuse a tax hike.
  • To scream for action but deny the opportunity to change one's ways.
  • To expect progress to come immediately and without effort.
  • To think that radical change is a direct precursor to improvement.
  • To howl for democracy when you don't have working knowledge of how it functions.
  • To vote based on a gut feeling and feel good that you contributed.
  • To stay dumb.
  • Finally, to blog the above.
