"A man who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear." Anon..

Read this quote the other day, it seems reasonable to me.

More and more of the 99% are getting to the point they have nothing to lose, a man who has nothing to fear can be a formidable enemy.

1. Unfortunately, there's a sizeable population that Simon and Garfunkle mentioned in "The Boxer"

"A man hears what he wants to hear and he disregards the rest."

That was well before FOX was a channel, but the line is profoundly relevant now.

7. Reminds me of the line from "War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning"

8. I've also heard that when people lose fear there is no controlling them

Having nothing to lose also means having lost fear.
