“Governments and corporations exist to hold power or make a profit, and they rarely listen to polite words of protest. If our hope for change rests upon the reasonableness of any government or economic system, then our hope is slim indeed. The underlying fact that we tend to overlook is that while systems do not listen to people very well, they are nevertheless made up of the very people to whom they do not listen. The existence of a given system depends upon the cooperation of all those who do not benefit from it and all who are hurt by it, as well as upon the smaller number of people who gain status or wealth from it. If those of us who protest the injustice of our system were instead to withdraw our support from the system, then change would begin.” ~ SHELLEY DOUGLAS ~ [“The Power of Noncooperation”]
