"causing anarchy" Huh? What exactly do you think happened back then? Made a lot of people mad? Yes. Caused terror? No. Well, maybe. I can see where Shorty was passing around mimeographed pages detailing how the WU held Black Masses and killed and ate children. Anarchy? Chaos? I am sure some of them thought that. But it wasn't based on reality.

>Mistaking opinion as fact is one of the clearest signs of an extreme partisan. >But since you KNOW that you're right and I'm wrong, there's nothing more I need to say. I KNOW that King was a leftist. There really is nothing more to it. It is a fact. >That explains why you think the actions of WU constitute "civil disobedience." There is nothing "civil" about setting bombs, causing anarchy, risking lives and injury (fortunately they only killed themselves), and getting a rise out of it. You're actually right on this much. The dictionary definition of "civil disobedience" is specifically nonviolent, so what the Weathermen did does not qualify as civil disobedience. -Z
