HDT: Not everyone!
GC: No" there are great people. Real fighters.
HDT: There always have been. John Brown was one.
GC: And you--
HDT: "Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority" but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight". When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned his office, then the revolution is accomplished."
GC: "Any man more right than his neighbors, constitutes a majority of one," you wrote. But how do we make such fine judgments about what's right?
HDT: You polish your mirror--as the Buddhists say. You come down from the mountain, with your revelations, like a Bodhisattva, and you show others the way to the mountain. "No dust settles on the grass." You observe closely and be sure you're reflecting clearly. Then, "cast your whole vote." You work for love and morality. "It is not enough to tell me that you worked hard to get your gold. So does the Devil work hard."
GC: Instead of the California gold-diggers of your day, we have oil merchants and frackers today. We hear they work hard and deserve their fortunes, laying pipelines across productive fields of non-GMO "amber waves of grain"--or, fracking under a man's house, turning his water into fire; or, bombing peasants in another country because they crave their resources. All in the name of "democracy."
