those who refuse to change, just because, annoy me. the inherent wrong must be made right. to leave things as they are, just because it's easier, does not validate non-action. yes, you've tried before and it was contested and refused. but change does not necessarily have to be revolutionary. if confrontation and fighting head on has failed you, then maybe, just maybe, another approach is due? if you can't win by force, then win by reason.

and even if you know you will not be around to reap the fruits of your endeavour, shouldn't the knowledge of having been a catalyst to a change for the better suffice?

the folly of those in power is that of an arrogant, ignorant and stubborn mule.
