Someone once said, and I agree - the seeds of change are already planted, it is merely up to us to nurture and give the seeds a chance.

The tallest trees in the forest come from a small, simple seed.

Gotta keep the powder dry. If we react to every little thing then we will be exhausted (and those that need to hear the resistance will by then be tone deaf to us). Let him dig the hole deep. Let him fall in & flounder about. Let him discover that the rope is only good for a hanging, not a rescue.
