42. Sarge, it didn't stop Dr. King from organizing and leading the
boycott against segregated public transportation in 1955.

It was a shot heard 'round the world.

The "little person" you are talking about is also the human being who because he or she "looks" illegal can now be arrested by police and other law enforcement, detained, questioned, harrassed, and so forth, on the sheer basis of racial bigotry.

In my opinion that calls for bigger guns.

If there is a focused boycott I'll support it as a nonviolent means of registering discontent over the throwback racism of Gov. Brewer and the Arizona State Legislature.
