I'm pretty sure you a are neither sane nor reasonable, but I figured
I'd let you confirm that via this simple yes or no question."

No, no monkey can change the jungle by himself. Not even a lion can.
Only the people can. The jungle drags everybody down into a web of
complicity and silence. People get paid NOT to say what they feel...

depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair (author of
'The Jungle')

Not all revolutions though are violent. Some of them have even been
backed by America, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, for example.
Still I think of the revolution in less dramatic but no less im****tant
terms. The book above (The Jungle) changed safety in the meat packing
industry by raising awareness to it. If this revolution changes
TRAFFIC SAFETY, I'd feel satisfied.
