Reinterpretation Reprised
Responding to msg by Jim choate:
As to putting them all together, you do a diservice in
my eyes. They did not occur together and they
certainly did not occur in the same social milieu that
the Civil War or the Vietnam War - Civil Disobedience
did. There were national events that effected every
person. The events that you refer to were local events
that eventually effected every person on a national
scale. Slightly different animals.

Do you mean that a Majority Happening is the only thing which
is important in your eyes? That the individual is
insignificant when s/he is affected by legislation on a
personal basis? That if only one person feels discomfitted by
it then it's no big deal because no one else has realized that
they've been violated? That life, liberty & the pursuit of
happiness is only important when carried out by large groups?
That the standard of Good Government is a National Event rather
than the quality of individual existence? That a Rose by any
other name or any lesser multiplicand is not a rose?
