Pride and Politics

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to
favor freedom
and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops
without plowing up the
ground. They want rain without thunder and
lightning. That struggle might be a
moral one; it might be a physical
one; it might be both moral and physical, but it
must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it
never will.
People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must
certainly
work for what they get."
- Frederick Douglass, Abolitionist -
on September 8, 1998
