It's really sad to see people saying things like,
"Why don't you just obey? Do what they tell you and everything will be fine. I'm a Democrat and you're just spoiling it for us love-the-system middle-class droids."

Civil disobedience always elicits the same sort of whiny bulshit from timid, status quo liberals... Until you win. Then you've done something historic.

Free Speech Movement

Civil Rights Movement

Anti-(Vietnam)War Movement

All of these movements used CD extensively and those actions are remembered as having been brave and significant acts that served to shape history. Whether Tent U rises to the level of these historic movements is irrelevant. The point is that non-violent Civil Disobedience can be an effective tactic in almost any campaign for social/economic justice.

Peace.
