On Despotic Rule

Within every human being exists a deep seated pride for revolt at tyranny.  However, I believe the most effective of all revolts and insurrections, is that of the intelligentsia.  When we are unable to educate ourselves, when information is filtered or withheld, when basic human rights are denied and when an impoverished nation is further humiliated by self interest and indifference for the desires of its peoples from a despot, then it is time for revolt.
