Oh. Never mind.
Michael Pfleger and about 50 supporters locked arms and blocked metal detectors and elevators inside a state building in downtown Chicago to highlight their cause Wednesday...Another Radical Cleric
Protestors are calling for an assault weapon ban and stricter background checks for people wanting to buy guns.
Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.So both of them encourage breaking laws they don't like until more government controls over private lives and activities are implemented. Snuffy even "said he succeeded in everything except getting arrested," and could Reuters have stuck their nose any further up Gore's uh...carbon emitter?
On the surface, civil disobedience sounds like a fine continuation of an American tradition. What was Thoreau's major premise in his defining work?
"That government is best which governs least"...OK, so what happens when someone who's not connected suggests he'd like to disregard laws he opposes just like the big boys--and does so to call for less government instead of more?
Oh. Never mind.
