According to a recent survey, 92% of Iranians know what is wrong with Iran’s current form of government, and have a better suggestion how Iran should be governed.
Which reminds me of a scene in “another" movie “Midnight Run" with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin. A wonderful film.
Heres some dialogue from this film, that best exemplifies the current Iranian condition:
Jonathan Mardukas (Grodin): Why would you eat that?
Jack Walsh (DeNiro): Why? ‘Cause it tastes good.
Jonathan Mardukas: But it’s not good for you.
Jack Walsh: I’m aware of that.
Jonathan Mardukas: Why do something that you know is not good for you?
Jack Walsh: Because I don’t think about it.
Jonathan Mardukas: Well, that’s living in denial.
Jack Walsh: Living in denial?
Jonathan Mardukas: Yeah.
Jack Walsh: I’m aware of that.
Jonathan Mardukas: So you’re aware of all your behavior? Yet you continue to do things that aren’t good for you. That sounds sort of foolish. Don’t you think, Jack?
The lesson being,
Iranians are apparently aware of their behavior, yet they continue to do things that aren’t good for them.
That sounds sort of foolish. Don’t you think, Jack?
If you are implying that they are not doing anything about it, it is because they are rightly aware that revolutions are simply bad. Two revolutions in one century is more foolish.
A recent atricle* on Guardian, Tehran Bureau reads:
"They are not insensate. They know what sacrifices they can and cannot make."
It ultimately goes back to Iranians to decide what to make of their situation, yet the question remains why we can't do more.

Hey ...whatever your name is...
How much are you getting paid to write constant nonsense all over the internet??
I have long reached the conclusion that iranians do not care.
You see, we have three categories of iranians.
a- those who are on good terms with IRI and get their needs met, in every imaginable aspect. So they are good. All is good.
b- those who have learned to adjust and only complaing and object quietly and amongs friends. Basically, being indifferent.
c- those who really do not give a sh... and leave everything behind.
