Thoreau and Civil Disobedience [video]

The original essay is eminently readable and, in my opinion, inspirational: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;ebooks&#x2F;71" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;ebooks&#x2F;71</a>.<p>Under 10,000 words, funny, and insightful. It tells of a man who didn&#x27;t just complain but acted on his conscience. Gandhi and MLK followed in his footsteps.

&quot;They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.&quot;

Interesting, I had not realized how much today resembles the mid 19th century.

I&#x27;m glad to see that after 8 years civil disobedience is once again acceptable.
