Supposing, just supposing all the rallies and demonstrations in the world are unable to stop this government.
I know the progression goes "soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box." My concern is that the possibilities of the first three are quickly becoming exhausted, and it's a very big step between boxes #3 and #4.
So I wonder if my fellow patriots would like to join me here in brainstorming some other forms of direct citizen action that might work--strategies that go beyond standing politely on the sidewalk with a sign, but don't go quite as far as firebombing the white house.
I think some Gandhi and MLK style actions would be an appropriate next step. My preference would be some kind of general strike, because I think that would draw the most participants.
Thoughts? Anyone besides me willing to get arrested violating some unjust laws?
