Can't be brave without risk.

Some people take it upon themselves to tackle a wrong.
Some people stay on the sidelines and bitch.

Call it dumb all you like but many lives, cultures and civilizations have been saved by fucking idiots not smart enough to mind their business and post rants on their blog...or um papyrus.

His "dumbness" has given countless others the courage to stand up in the face of insurmountable odds, even knowing it was a death sentence, ESPECIALLY in that country, his action made at least a few people stop, and question the "all powerful" government.
