I was having a discussion with a co-worker on the subject of revolution. I had watched a documentary yesterday on Stalin, and what he did to the Russian people, and I kept thinking “if only the people had been armed.”
So, after talking a bit with him on the subject of revolution and whether we think it’s going to be happening soon (we suspect it is), we also got to talking about the outrage over taxes & constitutional rights violations, and why people don’t do something about it. He then came up with a great line: “the cynicism of one generation begets the apathy of the next.”
So true.
