Never doubt a committed group of people can change the world- indeed, it's the only thing that truly has.


Now, a committed group only works if people listen to them. At this time, the people in charge have chosen to ignore them.

Being an Indian, I'll use Gandhi. The British very much didn't want to listen to him...at first.

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying it's not working. It will work in the future certainly, but at this moment, this country is run by a stubborn assholes.

How the fuck do you plan to change anything?

I don't know! I haven't been on this earth very long, and my passion is the entertainment business, music and performance. The only thing I can do is try to make people think a little bit differently, to think that maybe making fun of that kid because he's gay is not a good idea, or that respecting the people around you is a more honorable thing to do, or that if you've got a little extra lunch, maybe you should give it to the homeless man on the street by your office who has nothing.
It's all that I can do, and I know it's not a lot, and if I don't change anything, at least I tried, and if I change a couple people's minds, and make the world a little bit of a better place, then sure it's disappointing that I can't change or fix everything, but those couple people are going to have to be good enough for me.

Good for you, you have a medium. You can help the world in a little bit. The average person lacks the ability and the time to help the world, they have things they have to do. So don't get mad at people for trying to fix the world, the only time the everyman has a say is during voting time.

I'm not saying for people to put their jobs aside, and go out there and go to protests and stuff. People can start changing things by being more respectful just in their everyday lives.

The average person is perfectly respectful. Well, by our standards. Our descendants will look down at this generation as being socially conservative, just like we do prior ones. We don't realize it, but every man, woman, and child on this earth is prejudiced somehow.

It's nice to see my optimism wasn't totally unfounded though, and that Vlad's alive.

Why would you assume he had died?

Whatever, I'm sure Vlad doesn't like being reminded of the possibilities.
