6. I think both tacts should be employed....
as that was what happened during the Civil rights fight...whether the boycott or the marches, both together sent a strong message. The public-ness of marching on the Supreme Court Steps would be for the purpose of educating the folks who don't have a clue, which is the majority. Of course, without a fair and unbiased media, we end up with more constraints than we would in a real democracy, which had a real free press; and of course, the media is truly half of our problem, and them being corporate owned truly is part of the reason for that problem.
