I think the term "civil disobedience" has lost its meaning. I wouldn't characterize Paul Revere's ride as such, but maybe my definition is too strict.

In any case, let's say "civil disobedience" is blocking an intersection with a car in order to protest something. What the originator of this thread did was state "let's protest, civil disobedience is a good start, don't be afraid to get bloody, you first." The lack of specificity really lept out at me. Again, maybe I saw it differently than most.

Probably so - you may occasionally live up to your screen name, but I tend to agree with most of your posts. I keep looking at the single-minded intensity of the other side and how they mobilize and protest while we sit "above it all" and refuse to get in the trenches - we will continue to lose until we actually engage them on the same battlefields.

FWIW: I read it the same as you.
