Civic Duty

The common refrain from people is that their lives are too busy, that they have so many other things to accomplish, they can’t devote time to making things right or opposing those who are doing injury to the common good.  I think the right answer was perhaps best summed up by the professional woman who turned out to join the Occupy protesters:  “This is my civic duty.  This is my day off.  I am the 99%.”
