***** Our problem is civil obedience. "You are saying our problem is civil disobedience, but that is not our problem. Our problem ins civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of their leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience.

Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem."
