Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

Therefore if a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible.

I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.

-I'm trying to make myself invisible. -That's an odd thing to attempt.

Go ahead with your life, your plans.... Don't waste time by stopping before the interruptions have started.
