Subject: Re: Higher Education's Role in Occupy and Related Social Justice Movements
Many white collar professionals, including those in higher education, feel that they are "safe", even if they see a general unraveling of democracy around them. They are fearful, although they might deny it, of being pushed out of their safe nest if they make waves.
There is always a sense of, "If I keep my head down I'll be all right". This has always turned out to be the wrong road to travel, but travel it they must.
The Ruling Class will steal from them everything including their dignity. And when the outcasts rise up and take control, those who tried to play it safe will be cursed and thrown to the wolves just the same as the Ruling Class.
But they never learn. And that is sad because they could be on the cutting edge of change. If only they had courage.
