    I get it, especially people who have young kids or other family that they must care for.

    Their highest priority is their family, not their country. As it should be.

    But even if you don’t have kids, fighting the system is not to be taken lightly… most will wait for an opportunity, and not make that opportunity themselves. Why? Because it’s wise if survival is your goal. Some people can set themselves on fire (which has started a revolution or two), but that shouldn’t be an expectation.

    Be an example of what you want, doing is always much more powerful than talking. Everybody talks.
