Correct. But where the problem comes in is that people have forgotten that civil disobedience carrys a pricetag. "Disobedience" is synonymous with "breaking the law", and that does indeed carry penalties. What cheeses me off are the younger generation that think they can commit acts of civil disobedience without getting smacked by the repercussions, and that such lack of consequences is their RIGHT.
If you decide to practice civil disobedience, that's A-OK by me. But you should expect to get your ass beaten and thrown in jail, and not bitch about it when it happens. Hey, if it was good enough for MLK, it's good enough for you.
