Power.

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation,
are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain
without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of
its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical
one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing
without a demand; it never has and it never will."

Frederick Douglass

Great image and, of course, well said. Although a little water in the right places can go a long way to disrupting power.

Now Gary, this is a typical picture from ny firiends the wrong side of the pond. You can always tell because of these funny plugs that miss the third pin. We have 3 pins in a UK plug :) But a great picture none the less....

Thought provoking words and together with your image brings to my mind commercial power/commercial greed. Very eloquent.
