7. Who said that….(name the 2 individuals
“I am not complacent at all John. I have
gone through experiences such as this for a
very long time. I know I am right. I make
the good argument, write the wise articles,
and the persuasive letters. And sometimes I
feel as though I am preaching to a stack of
wood. People do not easily embrace
change. Convincing them to turn in a new
direction requires a patience and
persistence that tax everyone. It does not
help matters that the course we are
attempting to follow could get us all hanged”
