someone wrote this after the election, I am not sure who did, but I would like to repost it. I can't give credit where credit is due...yet... it was inspiring, I am not a hateful person, and I dont intend on ever hurting a soul... yet this is an eye opener. If whomever is out there that wrote this on a thread would like to claim it,,,, PLEASE DO :) Voting does squat. Everyone says vote vote vote... except US History is quite that opposite.
Did George Washington vote to ditch England, with King George saying "Oh, majority voted, I'll go bugger off back to my high chair in London. Tweedle-dee-dee..."?! I don't think so!!!
Freeing the slaves: Did the North and South play a game of checkers to resolve the crisis? Nope, they killed each other. Abe Lincoln, oddly a Republican, had the guts to do the right thing - and was murdered for his progressive liberalism.
Did Rosa Parks incite the abolishment of segregation by saying that she was sorry for taking up Whitey's special seat? Hell no.
Gay rights: If it were not for the Stonewall RIOTS, nothing would have changed. And we sadly have a long way to go, what with judges siding with the murderer buying the excuse "He made a pass and I got anxious so that's why I stabbed him 62 times."
Oddly enough, it seems to take violence for any change to be made or for people who want to eliminate serious issues to be noticed.
In other words, if blocking some street corners will do some good - so much the better. But will it? All of the AMERICAN HEROES I mentioned took big-ass risks, and some paid with their lives.
