done that -- our founding fathers did that when they started this country with actions like the boston tea party, and martin luther king used those tactics in the civil rights movement when black people were disenfranchised and could not vote, when the democratic system did not represent them. we are here to use nonviolence and the tactics of nonviolence to enliven and strengthen our democracy.

that is what the boston tea party was about. when it started out, at least they were against an accountable behavior from top to bottom. then it more into something different. if you want to go against that grain, you have to tell people it is a privilege and irresponsibility to spend their tax money, but there are some things we have to do together. that is what the purpose of government is, to do the things we have fitted together that we cannot do on our own. so that's the leading in shared prosperity and shared responsibility and sharing our membership in the community is better than you are on your own. if we can make that choice credible, then our candidates starting with the president and our principles will be fine. we also have to always realize that we might be wrong about something. that also was a good thing. if one group, once you show your own strengths, says they might be wrong about a particular thing, and the other group never does, the average person thinks more of the honest side than the falsely proud side. i
