Well Martin Luther King jr would fit really well into that example I gave of the best arising during the toughest times. I'm not particularly a fan of JFK.
Most people today like to avoid confrontation, I got kicked out of school Friday for being right... I havent learned to go with the flow when you just get fucked with by "higher ups". People do still confront bullshit, just not everywhere you look.
u have a good point, it is everywhere, but it seems to be hidden somewhat, kept underground. p.s. sorry about school man, thats a bummer!
