Charles:
If you want to propose to everyone to get handcuffed, placed in a paddy wagon, booked, jailed, arraigned, set for trial, fined, and then return for a trial at your own cost, OK. I guess that is your idea of leadership.
If you want to guarantee that we all look like a bunch of 9-11 Truthers, instead of negotiating, fine. See how far you get. Or what you achieve.
Facing up to power does not always mean getting punched out, or arrested, or killed. It means doing something sensible to force a settlement, so you get something reasonable instead of a court date. If you recall, this is what King did in Montgomery and other places. And before you say, he got killed, Jim DiEugenio in not King, and neither are you. And he achieved a lot more than we did or ever will.
