It's way past time for torches and pitchforks......

"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion."

- Oscar Wilde

.....

“What is a rebel? A man who says no”

- Albert Camus

.....

"No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots."

- Barbara Ehrenreich

.....

"Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization. Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation."

- Eugene Debs

.....

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will."

- Frederick Douglass

.....

"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing."

- Thomas Jefferson

.....

"Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us."

- Jerry Garcia

.....

"There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively -- I am one with the people."

- Huey Newton
