[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks kindly for the "Civil Disobedience," excerpts by Thoreau. He practiced what he believed in. He expressed his belief in the power and, indeed, the obligation of the individual to determine right from wrong, independent of the dictates of society: ". . . any man more right than his neighbors, constitutes a majority of one . ." While many of his contemporaries agreed with his view, few practiced it in their own lives as consistently as Thoreau.

[Sir Gawain]

While many of his contemporaries agreed with his view, few practiced it in their own lives as consistently as Thoreau.

And even fewer today. Thoreau laid out a perfectly achievable road map for anyone wishing to follow it. It's a great testament to him that not many can.
