Re: Thoreau and Civil Disobedience [video]
#2After close to a decade of loudly or silently supporting Obomba's wars, the jailing of whistleblowers, the unconstitutional surveillance and other crimes, American socialists are discovering the long lost art of civil disobedience...
Their only objection to injustice is they con't like to be on the receiving end. Pathetic!

#10The original essay is eminently readable and, in my opinion, inspirational: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71.
Under 10,000 words, funny, and insightful. It tells of a man who didn't just complain but acted on his conscience. Gandhi and MLK followed in his footsteps.
