Well once upon a time I read a letter by Dr. Martin Luther King. I did not know that he went to jail.

Anyway. I found it interesting all the comparisons King alludes to from the Bible and Socrates. It seems as if he too should have read The Eumidides and contemplated justice with us since he is so interested by true justice and law. This article really made me start to complicate civil disobedience. I really like what King suggested that if one wants to disobey the laws they fall under then that person has to accept the punishment even if the law is morally or ethically wrong. This then causes others to have more respect for that person and therefore want to help incite the change in government of the laws.

In fact, I am kind of disappointed that I have never had the opportunity to participate in civil disobedience. Which in turn made me wonder what kind of disobedience would I participate in. So...Rachel Fiona Rebecca Kotlan....What can you see me doing? haha. I can tell you that I gave away money to this lady at the gas station the other day (i know stupid because she most definitely did not use the money to buy gas) and that is breaking a law but not because I thought that the law was stupid and I wanted to change it. I didn’t realize it was against the law (I am from Texas) and now I realize its against the law and I realize it was stupid so I won’t be doing it again. What is a bad law that I want to change, or a lack of law I want to add? I thought about this question a lot before deciding that in our country there is not a particular law I want to change at this time. But as soon as there is ... Im going to jail!

I commented on Rebekah's post.
