This was a post from a friend on Facebook. "The "future" is an infinite succession of "presents", and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." A quote by Howard Zinn, a playwright, historian, and social activist who challenged the status quo. Take a minute and think about it seriously.

I love rebels and taking on the status quo. Yet, I have never known why. Despite my conservative upbringing, I always found myself siding with the underdog. Perhaps I am one and just never knew it. This quote however got me thinking that I am beginning to move down the right path. siding with one of history's greatest rebels who gave up his life for the most noble and glorious of causes. To save mankind from mankind.
