Evil succeeds when...

Evil succeeds when good people say and do nothing.  The Holocaust is a prime example of this.  The good people of Germany said and did nothing as Hitler rose to power.  People are too complacent in their lives.  Quite contrary, the evil in the Southern U.S. did not succeed.  This was segregation and the Jim Crow laws that was the social evil of the day.  Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery Alabama bus to a white passenger, sparking a boycott of the bus system there.  People protested, both white and black, and endured the police dogs and water cannons.  Good always triumphs when the good people say NO to evil and do something about it.
