I've been in Indianapolis (snapshot) on a business trip for the last week. I've been very impressed with this city. I enjoyed going to mass at the historic Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church right across the street from the RCA Dome, and spent a few hours today at the Indiana War Memorial. I also enjoyed walking on the Canal Walk ( snapshot ). Yesterday I visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
I'm trying to follow the ideals of Henry David Thoreau, in his essay On Civil Disobedience. Thoreau refused to cooperate with The Machine of oppressive government and encouraged all moral people to do the same. He referred to this "civil disobedience" as creating friction in the machine. Given enough friction for a long enough period of time, the machine will break.
