Sometimes, no it’s almost all the time, I wish I could spend more time playing the many sports I love to play.

But I don’t.

Instead, like most of us, I get caught up in organizations, politics, work, and all the other stuff that life seems to tee up.

The next time you feel the urge to join a major protest to condemn the elite, powerful forces who are supposedly making your lives worse, don’t bother. The event is most likely organized by elite, powerful forces who are getting rich off your activism while you don’t make a dime or a dime’s worth of difference.
