| Personally, I thing we would if the threat to the government became big enough.
As for deterring activists goes, I don't think there are that many "activists" to begin with, at least not the real ones such as MLK.
When you stop and think of it, why DO social activists stand out in our consciousness so much? One reason, because there are so few of them. Most americans may complain and vote in accordance with their concerns but when it comes to taking it to the street we are VERY few in number. |
