Nothing Goes to Waste

All those years when you raised issues that no one wanted to hear; when you wrote books that no one bought; when you gave lectures and students looked at you blankly when you got to the most important point- Chicago and Occupy show us that nothing goes to waste. That at moments when it seems that everything you've done and all the things you've worked and fought for have evaporated withouta a trace, a movement begins that places things you have devoted your life to before the public in ways that can't be ignored. And you realize that all that grunt work you were doing meant something. And you would do it all over again
