No change comes without crisis,crisis of it's self pushes the borders of what is acceptable to what must be acceped in order to move on from what is of crisis thus, change, nothing stays the same and yet,human endavour constantly repeats the itself, the oppressed become the oppressors ..it's an old cliche I know, but we are in capable of learning anthing other than to survive no matter the means.........
