  15. [everything else deleted]
  16. #    In my book, "civil disobedience" consists of passively refusing to
  17. #cooperate with laws one regards as unjust.  It does not include death threats,
  18. #bombs, and assault.  
  19.  
  20. That's one of the problems that I have with O.R. (and with some other
  21. groups) calling what they do civil disobedience.  Unless O.R. is 
  22. protesting trespass laws, I don't consider what they're doing C.D.  
  23. I think the phrase has changed in meaning these days - people
  24. say they're going to do C.D. when what they mean is they're
  25. going to get arrested for protesting.
