The most helpful thing you can do for the "little people" is not to be
one of them.


Wishful thinking. The overwhelming majority of people in the world are
little people, even the folks that post on these newsgroups who think
what they post really has some impact on the world. These people have no
power to change the world around them...just spectators.

That doesn't abrograte the responsibility of those who become the movers
and the shakers...and the boat rockers. There are some movers and
shakers who are responsible, other reckless, while others are us
downright evil...but what I hate most is the hypocrisy...they never take
the blame for the bad stuff, they just take the bows when things work out.

All I am saying is that when things move (or are pushed) fast they tend
to move violently, and its innocents who suffer the most.

While movement is inevitable and things are going to change, I am not
going to jump up and down in celebration while things are going good
because I know that there is going to be a repercussion somewhere...the
same goes for bad things, I am not going to be wallowing in despair
either.
