i like the thoreau idea, will....but i dont see why it requires a "leader" at all, much less a "charismatic" leader. all it would require really was a webpage with a coherent, clear message and a bit of tactical thinking about how to get that website out there into the virtual world. set the page up either as or with a flyer (a pdf) with interesting layout/graphics and encourage folk to print them and put em up. why not? a political action does not require a top-down structure. it does not require a unified voice: the action itself is all that is required. and an action like that one would bring the current system to its knees quite quickly. a decentered action would pose real response trouble for the state as well: who are you going to go after? everyone?
let the idea circulate and acquire a life of its own.
