I found myself explaining my motives to the principle in igh school when he was given the speech that I had written about the essay on civil disobedience by thoreau.it seems I was being accused of inciting a riot. but If he had actually read the article he would know that I was esposing a noviolent resolution to an internal frustration.
nothing wrong with civil disobedience in itself. afterall thats the foundation of the creation of this great country.
there will come a time in this country when civil disobedience may be necessary to return the country to the governance of the people. by the people and for the people.
the present state of affairs is just part of the slow progress that is necessary to fine tune the rules of government that this world is to live by. If things swing to far one way it may become necessary to impliment extreme measures to right the wrongs. if those wrongs can indeed be righted.
my world is not black and white but has many shades of gray.

You're not too sharp in the punctuation department, Chum.
Now go ahead and jump all over me for bringing it up.
