Yeah right. And shit should turn to chocolate and piss to lemonade. 

Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the 
progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august 
claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, 
agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to 
silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is 
no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are 
men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without 
thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many 
waters.

This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be 
both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing 
without a demand. It never did and it never will.
