Civil disobedience is not our problem.

Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves and the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem. (Howard Zinn)
A People's History of the United States

Great way to start the thought process on a rainy Monday morning.  Thanks for the post Mr. Curtis Harmon
