Happiness comes from stopping things




Eighteen months later, construction stopped. The Hawaii Supreme Court, ruling in a suit by a Native Hawaiian woman, said the city and state first needed to finish assessments of traditional burial and archaeological sites. In a separate, federal suit filed by opponents of the project, a judge halted land acquisition downtown pending more study of the effects on historic sites.

first the bad news
you can't do everything
you ever planned on
doing with your life

you won't ski the Alps
win the Nobel Prize
discover a cure for wallpaper
find the perfect parking space

now the good news
if you stick to your guns
within the USA
you can put a stop to anything

highway construction 
bridge repair
interurban train tracks
garbage collection on Sundays

ask for a more detailed study
lobby for more gender equality
demand accountability
get 60 Minutes to cover it

you can stop anything
yes you can
and they won't dare move another inch
until you say so
