Civil Disobedience.
Has anybody else read Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience? It’s a rather short essay and I just got finished reading 2 nights ago and I’ll be honest . . . it’s provocative. I mean literally explosive. And I’m not quite sure what to do with it. I was wondering if anyone else has read it or is familiar with it at least.
Gandhi, Tolstoy, and MLK all count it and Thoreau as catalytic in their intellectual and practicing formation. Which has got to mean something right?

I read it in college. I thought about it a whole lot when I saw V for Vendetta for some reason.
Sometimes I think about doing things. I was thinking about having a hunger strike for congress to stop the war funding, but I’m not popular so I would probably just die.
I think Jesus would have dug that sh$%.
