Sharon Dowling- “it Is Much Too Soon To Say Peaceful Protest Is Ineffective…it Takes Time To Educate And Inform People Who Have Believed In The Rightness And Fitness Of Our Government For So Long. We Cannot Resort To Violence As We Will Be Outgunned And Playing Into The Hands Of Those Who Want Us To Fail. Look At History- The Civil Rights Struggle Took Time…if Martin Luther King Jrs’ Followers Resorted To Violence They Would Have Become The Enemy And Nothing Good Would Have Come From It. Women’s Suffrage Took Time…talk Of Picking “a Leader” Seems Counter Productive- We Need Leadership, But It Has To Be Thoughtful, Pragmatic, And Consensus Building! Perhaps A Core Group? Our Biggest Problem Right Now Is That The Media Is Not Interested In Educating Or Informing, But With The Internet, Etc, We Are Able To Share More Than Ever. But Wanting It To Happen “now”- Real Meaningful Change Takes Time. If Any Change Is Forced Upon People- Even Positive Change- It Will Be Resisted. Counter Productive All Around. Patience Is Necessary- And Steady, Constant, Movement Towards The Goals.” Bd People’s Mic.
