Dead Silent Prelude

Ed Cline posts a piece titled Murder, She Wrote at the blog The Rule of Reason.  Cline’s post comments on the perfidies of the ruling class currently chaining the American people, but it is a quote prefacing his post, and Ed’s reference to that quote within his post, that I am interested in considering here.

Politically, mass civil disobedience is appropriate only as a prelude to civil war—as the declaration of a total break with a country’s political institutions. — Ayn Rand

Ed’s reference to the Rand quote.

Mass civil disobedience, if it can be communicated and orchestrated, is the proper response to such treason.  That treason is represented in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (HR 3590), passed by the House on March 21, 10:49 p.m… (ObamaCare (DeathCare) - ed.)

Let’s be realistic, here.  Mass civil disobedience is a dead silent prelude.  The deafening silence of the prelude can be measured by the mass civil compliance with Census 2010.  I, amongest others, have been encouraging individuals to refuse to participate in Census 2010 as a massive display of peaceful civil disobedience since April 2008, but census forms are being completed and returned to the census bureau in a massive display of cowed compliance.

Another measurable example of the dead silent prelude is the lack of sound of breaking glass.  Though there have been a few tinklings, and those hardly heard.

America is in dire need of being saved and restored, but I am becoming more convinced each day that it will not be saved by mass civil disobedience, which is dismaying.  Though I greatly desire to hear a symphony of a peaceful reclaiming of American freedom and liberty, I fear I may only hear a cacophony of club wielding chimpanzees running wild in the jungle.
