What Margaret Mead should have said

Everyone's heard this quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

She should have said this: "Never doubt that changing the world requires hard work, setback, frustration, and anger. Indeed, those forces applied over too long a time are the only thing that ever has."

Nowhere near as catchy, but she probably could have said it more eloquently.

Seriously though, she didn't mean your drum circle has to visualize world peace, people.
