I don't disagree that civil disobedience is a bad or ineffective way to go, but it has to be viewd as civil disobedience with a purpose in mind and you more then anyone should know that there has to be a price that your willing to pay, and a clear goal that creates a requirement for the action.

With the Martin Luthor King actions there was a clear message and a clear goal so it became effective, the same with drinking from the whites only fountain, sitting at the whites only counter or sitting in the whites only seats on public transportation. there was a clear message, and there was a clear point, and the people that did it had a clear understanding of the issues and the costs involved.

I'm sure that it was the same in what you were doing in your laudible protests DA.

The occupy Calgary protest is not the same thing, there's not a clear mandate or goal that is pulling it in the same direction. There's not an understanding of the issue and a plan to call attention to it.

I go back to Corbella's columns when she was there and present and talking to these people. When does civil disobedience become meaningless, and in this case when the people are shouting jingo's that they don't understand, and they can't relate their opposition to the current situation.

Marching in support of Occupy Wallstreet, I can see that if you know and understand and believe in what your marching in support of is fine.

But sitting in a campground, and calling it a democracy shool when you don't even understand or take advantage of your countries democratic mechanisms just makes you look foolish.

Man I'm talking about democracy here doesn't mean anything if you didn't vote or don't vote.

Man they need to lower the interest rates from 12% for the average working joes makes no sense when the prime rate is 3% and you don't know that.

Dude, the bankers are screwing us over with their greed, doesn't make for a good argument if you don't know how Canada's banking regulations work.

Dude, I think we need to work less and make more doesn't make sense if you don't understand why we work like we do and how the system that your in sets the pay rates and then ripples across every aspect of the market.
