Famine/feast/fight

So it looks like a proposed famine to be followed by much tension, fighting and bureaucracy, to be followed by something better.

"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without demand. It never did and it never will."

Frederick Douglass

This quote is on the back of my business cards. I should stop once in a while and remember how lucky I am.
