The Next Step?

Effern commented on my post regarding the apparent futility of recent marches/rallies:

""I'm ashamed of each and every one of you for not doing more. And I'm ashamed of myself for falling in line with you."

So what would you have us do?

It appears that all legal means have been pursued in the interest of speaking out on Governor Bush's policies and administration. Short of staging a commando raid on the White House not unlike the end of Brazil, what else is there? Kidnapping Nancy Pelosi's family and threatening to kill them unless she assassinates Bush next time he addressed a joint session of Congress?

I agree that naked protesting and other such nonsense accomplishes little, if anything. I'm sure phone numbers are being sought, and possibly traded.

And strong essays, while inspirational, are just that. Essays.

So what would you have us do?"

My response: "Well, the Pelosi thing just might work. Kidding aside, If I knew the answer I wouldn't be doing this. For the first time in my life I'm considering the next step after marches, namely civil disorder. If Bush et al. are ignoring the former, maybe they'll pay some attention to the latter. I'm about as non-violent as one can get, but I just can't see how sitting around typing and ocassionally walking around with a sign is doing any good at this point."
