"The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning." ~ Henry David Thoreau
"Protesters in North Carolina toppled a nearly century-old Confederate statue in response to white supremacist violence to the north. Demonstrators in the former slave state looped a rope around the bronze soldier Monday evening and pulled it down to the ground. Many spat on the statue, kicked it and proudly posed with the downed monument."
