52. This is an insulting, pompous

statement to make of a "certain segment" of the political left. I'm thankful
for the people that have the guts and courage to question, complain make
known the issue they have with a given subject or situation. Attempting to
make people feel ashamed or immature for being the one to question or
express their indignation given what we all put up with on a daily basis,
and most often most graciously is annoying at best.

Revolution? I can't believe that was a serious conclusion you came to
to explain people's grievances.
