This is not really directed to King of The World, but to everybody who, in frustration, can only see fit to put out one liners of doom when anybody gets excited about change.

I would like to gently point out that that was not a very nice thing to say to somebody who is seeking change. The status quo is created solely by naysayers. Oppressors have always used the inertia of the oppressed against them. They don't really have to do the oppressing. By doing nothing we are keeping ourselves chained.

Even if the good doctor's chances are slim, his supporters are the people that raise the level of debate among the citizenry. Shitting on activists is worse, in my view, than being a rotten, pocket-lining politician. At least they have a reason ($$$) for their actions or lack thereof. If you don't believe miracles can happen, do a Google search for Senator Jeff Smith, or watch the documentary about him. You will see that sometimes grassroots efforts succeed...certainly more often than doing nothing.
