i must remember this...

Those who profess freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and
lightning. Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did and never
will. People might not get all they work for in this world, but they
certainly must work for all they get.
~Frederick Douglass

There is an old adage about how cats want fish but don't want to get their feet wet. Such is true of so many people now.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.
