Zimbabwe Absurdity

I suppose if you look hard enough in any collection of quotes that you will find one appropriate for whatever you want. Anyway, I rather like this one:

Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
~ Howard Zinn
