They were there in the past when they said it was preferable to seek peace with the King than to start a revolution. They were there when they said it was preferable to live in a Union with slavery than to try to start trouble to rid the scourge of slavery from this land, and today they're there to say that it's preferable to let the rich have their way than to start more trouble and challenge the power of the rich and ensure a more equitable society and more opportunity to everyone, and they will always be there telling us we can't go forward, but history shows that the tide moved against them time and time again.
