      Too many people on the planet that are complacent with the feeling that you can't fight city hall will prevent the revolution that is needed. The government is too big to fight now.

      They are not complacent with a feeling that you can't fight City Hall; they are sullenly resigned. The money and power to influence the masses always seems to go to the wrong people.

        Mitt Romney is proud to be paying half the money. And that's just in the one year he's revealed.

                          When I was a newbie, here, I had this quote and asked for help on the chat box. I was pulling my hair out. Bansai, gave me the answer. I felt pretty silly, but I just couldn't come up with it. It must not be THAT hard almost a third of the people can get it. Funny, after all these years, I don't think I've had this one again, but I remembered BRILLIANCY.

                                Half of us are doing the bailing, but the other half seem to want to scuttle it.
