This 90-Second Wisdom By Howard Zinn Will Make You Think – You’re The One

11

Those of you who do not want to get involved in changing the world, you must read/listen to Howard Zinn, an antiwar social activist who described himself as ‘something of an anarchist, something of a socialist; maybe a democratic socialist’. Howard-Zinn-Quotes-5

Zinn once said, “As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. 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.”

In ReGeneration, a 2010 American documentary film written and directed by Phillip Montgomery that looked at the issues facing today’s youth and young adults and the influences that contribute to America’s current culture of apathy toward to political and social causes, Zinn gave 90 seconds of wisdom about those very people who become active, take things to the streets, and create change right in front of our eyes. Watch him recount his life of advocacy and action, maybe it will resonate with you…

  1. The truth: “Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world.
    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” – thank you, you said that. Thank you Mr.Howard Zinn.

  2. I believe that the authorities are probably just cleaning up the massive internal damage present in my body so they can kill me without the spotlight and massive internal damage caused by their 8 years of torture. I hope I am wrong. I have clamps on my vowels and urinary tract completely controlling my bowel and bladder movements.

    • Multiple attempts
      Continue to be made on my life. I posted a letter on Facebook sent to President Obama about the 8 years of torture and the attempts by the local government and hospital to kill me. Since then their second attempted poisoning. 1St in Dupage Jail. Second yesterday. The attacks continue against our family and I. They have nothing to do with this, well I don’t either but they should not have their life’s put in jeopardy Like mine is.
      Girl Scouts are tougher than these guys!

      • I guess their was a mixup on my end yesterday. All other statements remain unchanged. My mistake on the mixup.
        Grateful there are still good people willing to fight the good fight. Blessings and good tidings come in so many forms.

  3. All good for now. Grateful beyond words for caring about the little guy. I am not afraid to die, that is not the problem. I just feel that I have people left to help and lives left to change. To me its is like duty or loyalty. When those spiritual not religious, missions are complete I will be ready to go.
    Much respect to those who put in 24 hour work days just for Honor. Will never forget the sacrifices made and will always remain grateful.
    Respectfully,
