We've been there before. Now I am for Obama, but... I might be up for some civil disobedience on some things, and we might match on some of them.
but, yes, there is a way to it. it is peaceful. it does involve going to jail.
blacks, with some whites joining them, marching for rights, and being beaten and hosed and sent to jail and even killed... that made a difference.
for all vietnam protesters like to think the protests matters, if the war had gone differently, they wouldn't have, so they didn't really. the protests were incidental. jimo.
back in the day, when people fought for an 8 hour day and no child labor, they died for it, they went to jail for it. and they changed things.
I think we need to change the things that have become skewed in our society... with wall street people making 500 time multiples to a scientist, the scientist who actually matters to us.
I don't mind taxes. I don't mind a lot of things, things we might disagree about.
but I think we agree on some cores.
and for those things... it occurs to me to come out of retirement. :)
civil disobedience has brought many great changes to this country. it is a strength. and a power. |
