About This Quote

The fact that your project was due on the day that some government got overthrown makes you look like an idiot. Often people will try to justify their behavior by saying, "Well, at least I'm not as dumb as this guy." It is a tricky thing to be a student and a political activist at the same time. If people knew you were doing a project on a specific country, you would be mocked for being stupid.
