What does it take for people to wake from complacency?

Politicians are so afraid of being a "do nothing" politician, but those are the best kind.

A good politician is like a condom. It sits idly in your pocket until you have need of it, protects you from ills when they are present, then when you are done, you toss it in the trash and go get a fresh new one. Don't get attached, don't use them twice, and don't fall too hard for the snazzy advertising.

**I just made that up. Something similar has probably been said before.

Nice... And I like your signature quote too!

[Elhuero]

The Government is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
