>		I found your piece engaging. It's really interesting to think about how revolution would look in our world or how revolution should look in our world. John Brown picked a single cause and died for it. I think the real question is when you find that thing that you can't tolerate, that thing in the world that you can't bare to live with, will you fight to end it? As long as there is inequality, there will be injustice. If you are still drinking the coffee, then that's not where your fight is and that's your choice. Slavery was one injustice of many in Mr. Brown's day. He picked the one he couldn't handle. I don't think the issue is so much one of picking your battles as it is knowing your limits. The only thing we can do is keep learning about the way the world really works until we find the thing we can't handle. At that point let's introduce ideas of courage.
