As the World Falls Down

Some of my friends have been asking what they can do to help those suffering at the hands of our tyrannical government. My suggestion would be to forget about efficacy, and to simply do something, anything, even if it accomplishes nothing. That way, when the war crimes tribunals are being held, and when the vanquishers of America are looking for someone to blame, you will have something concrete you can show them. Every empire crumbles at some point. Thus far none have beaten the odds of time. And when our own demise comes, which it inevitably will, your liberators will not care how efficiently you resisted, nor what heroics you can boast of; only whether you shared in the burdens of those your people were oppressing.
