"What's An Appropriate Way To Dissent?"

I see that Tony Snow got a bit flustered when David Gregory asked him that question (video here). Coincidentally, after this post, a reader asked me via email about "the best way to protest."

Without getting into the difference between dissent and protest (and when broad political or social change is the objective, they are indeed two different things), there's a certain historical example of protest I've long considered an inspiring template. To be clear, I don't mean to draw any specific political comparisons between now and then beyond the example of action and dedication in the face of ruinous, runaway leadership. Read about it here. Then be sure to check out some photos of the legacy here.

Thank you for the link - I had not heard the story of the White Rose, and it really does delineate what is proper dissent. Usually something that the powerful rather not have you hear.

There is an excellent recent German movie Sophie Scholl: the final days. Apparently the director based the movie on existing historical documents such as the recently released records of her Gestapo interrogation, a long letter from her cellmate to her parents, trial documents, etc. The result is very sober and yet, or maybe because of it, packs quite a punch. One of the best movies I saw in 2006.

I'll be registering my dissent with my 2006 filing, in the form of a letter.

Bad war. No check.

"Stay the Course", "Cut & Run", "Surge", "Failure is not an option", Dissent is not Appropiate".
Did David miss the memo?

Anxiety and depression symptoms don't seem to be dangerous during the early stages, however with time the symptoms become so grave that they may pose a risk to your life.

The intake of Zoloft medicines is very helpful in treating insomnia and also regularizes your sleeping cycle. The Zoloft oral medicine contains the chemical Sertraline in large number.
