“Most men would feel insulted if it were proposed to employ them in throwing stones over a wall, and then in throwing them back, merely that they might earn their wages. But many are no more worthily employed now.”
~Henry David Thoreau
This is an excerpt from that masterpiece, Civil Disobedience. A piece that still creates a shock to the system with every page turned. At about twenty pages long, you can read or reread it this afternoon.
