Quote:the people in the streets and in the square aren't doing themselves any favors if they want to change things.  all they are doing is making fools of themselves.

 

...and getting people to tune them out, not listen.

 

It's the whole respect thing.  If you want it, you earn it - you don't demand it while attacking those you want it from.

 

I think everyone on all sides would prefer injustices to go away.

 

But to do that you don't fight injustice with injustice.  It's completely illogical.

 

It's like making the defense do gassers when the offense false starts or drops a pass.  You're only hurting the team as a whole and not addressing the issue.  It's an unjust punishment against the innocent for the mistakes or wrongdoing of others.
