movies are WWII yarns with a similar theme; passive
resistance and civil
disobedience1.
The
spirit of resistance to oppressive laws and government has a long and
distinguished history. One of the best known resistance movements -
and
arguably the longest lived one - is Christianity. Quite possibly
the second
(first to some) best known proponent of civil disobedience
was Mahatma
Ghandi2.
In this country, Martin Luther King Jr. was a major proponent of
civil disobedience during the civil rights fight of the 60s.
Whenever
a government becomes oppressive with its taxation, legal
restrictions, regulations or anything else that erodes the freedoms
of the
people under their rule, some people will resist. The greater
the oppression,
the greater the resistance. Many people - myself
included - feel that the time
has once again come for some good new
civil disobedience again in the good
old US of A.
Take
Obamacare. How can you resist that? Just don't sign up until you
get sick. The fine3
will cost you a whole lot less than the insurance.
Then
there's all the talk about screwing you out of your second
amendment
rights. Go out now to a gun show near you and buy all the AR15s
and
AK47s that you can afford. Under no circumstances should you register
them. Buy them from a private party so you don't go through a
background
check. If you have the money, get some guns as gifts for
all your loved ones.
Don't forget the ammo. Several members of
congress have decided that since
they may fail at taking away your
gun rights, they will go after your
ammunition4.
Disagree
with illegal immigrant amnesty? Picket and boycott any
housing
project that rents to illegals and businesses that hire them5.
If you
are afraid of retaliation or just don't have the time, take
some pictures, print
up some fliers and plaster your neighborhood
with them to let everybody
know who is helping Americans lose jobs
and waste your hard-earned tax
money.
Barter.
Trade work for goods and services whenever you can. There's no
way
for the IRS to trace that so you won't get taxed on the fruits of
your
labor. Don't get me wrong; Big Brother wants his cut6.
He just has no way of
finding out what you did, unless you tell him.
If
you live in a medical-marijuana state, get a card and tell everybody
you know to do the same thing.
Write
LOTS of letters to your congresspeople7.
Believe it or not,
politicians do read the letters they get. They all
want to get re-elected so they
need to know what their constituents
are thinking.
And
the biggest civil disobedience move you can make? VOTE!!!
At least that's my
opinion. What's yours?
