Much like what is happening in the Middle East at the moment; you can oppress the people for just so long before they engineer a way to communicate, unify and impose their will.


Instead of "people" one could read "shareholder" as a direct analogy with the corporate world.

Organisations that are, and remain obstinate in the face of overwhelming shareholder dissatisfaction will, in the inevitable passing of time, succumb to the power of its owners. Corporations, their boards and executives who conveniently hide behind corporate walls, internal processes and legal ploys will, in time, face their destiny.
