Cocktails for Two

I hope scapegoating large faceless institutions for nebulous problems like “war”, “unemployment”, and “crisis” satisfies them, because it’s unlikely to do anything else. Protesting banks because life didn’t turn out how they thought it should is not only proof they’re not ready for democracy, it’s proof they’re part of the problem. The only thing standing between the American public and its prosperity is an inability to reconcile the level of freedom desired with the responsibility that comes with it. Complaining and feeling sorry for oneself has not been, is not, and will never be a road to progress or prosperity. Change isn’t something you demand, it’s something you create. So, my suggestion to protesters is, either accept reality or start changing it—there is no third option.
