is not our problem.
Our problem is civil obedience.
Our problem is
that people all over the world
have obeyed the dictates of leaders…
and millions have been killed
because of this obedience…
Our problem is
that people are obedient
allover the world
in the face of poverty
and starvation and stupidity,
and war, and cruelty.
Our problem is
that people are obedient
while the jails are full
of petty thieves…
(and) the grand thieves
are running the country.
That’s our problem.”
- Howard Zinn
