As sickening as it seems, it is the cold hard truth. If change is too happen, the best thing to do is get up and make it. I'll thank you not to insinuate that I'm trying to silence anyone.Okay.. I don't follow this argument at all. You're not allowed to criticise anything unless you're prepared to make it yourself?
Don't complain about hardware unless you're ready to go into the semi-conductor business?
Don't complain about a car unless you're ready to go into the automobile business?
Don't complain about cruddy airlines unless you're ready to start your own?
Don't complain about the weather unless you're prepared to create your own universe?
I will not have my words twisted on account of knee-jerk indignation. I know people expect snide responses and mean replies to those sorts of things, but I just said something that is true.Â
We can complain. Hell, I bitch up a storm about enough myself. However. Change will not come without meaningful initiative. It's not easy, and sometimes people have to leave it to those who come after to pick up where they left off. I'm speaking from experience on that one, too.
Otherwise, things are just going to stay the same for us to complain about some more.
