Scott Ott and Thoreau

What Do You Value More Than Liberty?

 "Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men, generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But is is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse."
