Has This Been Said So Succinctly Before?

Found this gem in Wednesday's Lileks column:

It is helpful to remember that if 9/11 had never happened, and we had never invaded Iraq, these people would be bringing the same level of ire and outrage to the presence of irradiated beef on school menus. They are the squeaky wheels shrieking for grease.

It's true, isn't it? Some people do nothing but complain, complain, complain, and never really grew out of that aspect of toddlerhood.
