“There are thousand who are in opinion opposed to…war, who yet in effect do nothing to put an end to them; who, esteeming themselves children of Washington and Franklin, sit down with their hands in their pockets, and say that they know not what to do, and do nothing; who even postpone the question of freedom to the question of free trade…”
-Henry David Thoreau
(On Civil Disobedience, Classic Books America, 6)
