I would just like to comment that I am immensely gratified to see the spreading wave of civil disobedience over the gay-marriage issue. This is of course just my opinion, but IMHO the USA needs a great deal more civil disobedience. It's long past time people started telling their legislators, "You're full of shit, and you're not doing your job of representing us. We want this, we're going to do it, and we don't think you've got the balls to try to stop us."

(Some of the other columns linked off that page make good reading, too. I particularly like "Them vs. us - but they lie.")
