Thought For The Day
« on: December 09, 2004, 12:54:00 PM »
When "ordinary people" refuse to obey, when they refuse to stay meekly in the box, and instead claim their human right to speak out in the name of their own perceptions, their own thoughts, their own truly felt compassion for the suffering
of others, this has an inordinately powerful impact on the world around us. Greedy and destructive power based on thoughtless obedience is supremely vulnerable to compassionate
rebellion. We should never lose sight of this.

--Media Lens, 12-02, referring to analysis from
Obedience to Authority, by Stanley Milgram, 1974
