WOULD ANY SANE PERSON think dumpster diving would have stopped Hitler,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or that composting would have ended slavery or brought about the eight-hour workday,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or that chopping wood and carrying water would have gotten people out of Tsarist prisons,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or that dancing naked around a fire would have helped put in place the Voting Rights Act of 1957 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
