[...] The middle classes are numb, bewildered,
scared into silence.
They don't know what, if anything, they can do.
This is the job for today's radical - to fan the embers
of hopelessness into a flame to fight.
To say, "You cannot cop out as have many of my generation!
"You cannot turn away - look at it -
let us change it together!"
"Look at us. We are your children.
Let us not abandon each other
for then we are all lost.
Together we can change it for what we want.
Let's start here and there - let's go!" ... ... ... ... ***
excerpted from "Rules for
Radicals", by Saul Alinsky: The Way Ahead
