Ocean Beach Woman Seeks to Reclaim Child From CPS
How does it become a man to behave toward this American government to-day? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also... ...Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed on, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage... It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves... It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate.... ...and (when) oppression and robbery are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any longer. In other words, when a sixth of the population of a nation which has undertaken to be the refuge of liberty are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize.. ...Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.... ...All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of '75... At any rate, it is a great evil to make a stir about it... What makes this duty the more urgent is the fact that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.. ~Civil Disobedience, Thoreau— November 24, 2011 12:51 a.m.
