I was thinking about this quote this morning when Jim

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and
lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
-- Frederick Douglass --
As someone else has already said - EXACTLY.
We don't have to agree completely (or at all) with the radicals - but where would we be without them?
