I heard a great quote from Robert Kennedy today in regards to the dictator standing down in Egypt. To those who say that one person cant change the system:
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
I may not succeed in changing the system..but perhaps in concert with 100s of others change can eventually occur.

I know that Robert Kennedy was a good man with a good heart, but he died in 1964. 47 years ago the world was a very different place.
Change worked then, because we were less busy and had less options.
