We have a problem

Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.

Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders...and millions of people have been killed because of that obedience....

Our problem is that people all over the world are obedient in the face of poverty and hunger and stupidity and war and cruelty.

Our problem is that people are obedient while the prisons are full of little thieves... (and) the big thieves are running the country.

That is our problem.

~ Howard Zinn
