A picture is worth a thousand words......
It's amazing that the White House would publish this photo not realizing how revealing it is.
- Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama
heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious?

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.
