It was a planned act of civil disobedience. (Which I whole heartedly support, btw!!)
And what is the purpose of civil disobedience? To draw attention to some unjust thing? I *think* that's what these folks were doing. And they were successful.
I have a vision of sit-ins... and the cops came in and made their arrests.... and it made the news...
So here we have a dance-in... and the cops came in and made their arrests... and it made the news....
Why can't folks dance there? Well, I guess I just don't view it as people "just dancing" there. It was clear they were there to make a point and they made it.
I wish it had actually been one of those wonderfully orchestrated and choreographed flash mobs.
That would have been magnificent!!!
