Oh, I think I remembered the quote, it was something like:
"Never expect any person or group to solve a problem when their revenue relies on the existence of that problem"
I may have paraphrased it slightly wrong, but there is so much truth to this.
The aim of most 'activists' should be to make themselves redundant. Call me when you find some activist who even appears to be trying to do this.
Jeez, the word "activist" just conjures up a picture in my mind of some self-proclaimed, self-important wannabe saviour type who's either using their "activism" as an excuse to be an asshole or to make a quick-buck ... possibly both.
