What's the use? Are you kidding me!!! What's the use in fighting for justice? |
|
Apparently, those who would put that question to the rest of us have no damn clue about what it is like to live for something greater than themselves.
What's the use? No matter what we do, nothing will change???
I will tell WHAT IS THE USE,...
,...something greater than your question and, apparently, bigger than your objective.
What's the use!!!!

1. Because our grandparents worked till they died. |
|
Because there was no retirement. There was no Social Security.
Because there were quotas on Jewish children in colleges and medical schools and law schools.
Because black children needn't bother to even apply.
Because girls weren't accepted into veterinary schools. And they couldn't get jobs better than secretary or receptionist.
Because you couldn't vote till 21, but you could be drafted at 18.
WTF do you mean, NOTHING WILL CHANGE????????? Are you that young or that insular or that dim that you don't know the world is NOTHING like it was for the people who live down below in America?
And I guess you never heard of slavery and indentured servitude and sweatshops.
Are you bitching because it won't come easy? Because everything we get is a battle with deaths?
What lazy, self-pitying do-nothing would say such a thing? And mean it?

2. The ones throwing their hands up,...OBVIOUSLY, haven't a clue about just how difficult,... |

,...life is and can be.
I suppose doing without a dishwasher would be detrimental to their mental health.
Seriously.
The first to advocate, "what's the use" and "what difference does it make" are the ones who believe they have somehow sacrificed more than those before them, completely ignorant of the real life sacrifices PAID.
Now, THEIR BILLS ARE DUE and what do they say,..."nothing will ever change",..."what's the use".
Fine. You get what you stand on. I am sorry for you but I paid my dues and I will watch you pay yours.

the likelihood that one person will make a difference in the rights of the 2% vs. the rights of the rest of us. I question the likelihood that our votes will be counted. I question the likelihood that the population is competent to make choices based on the lack of information available to them. I question the likelihood that the Justice System will change through the Justice System. I avail myself to all this horse shit, in the hopes, that like the lottery it could happen. And there lies my problem. There is no justification in continuing, but there is less justification in quitting.
