ED CONE REMEMBERS the Greensboro sit-ins. “The Greensboro Four chose a strategy of nonviolence, which made it easy for others to rally to their cause. They showed great physical courage and perseverance, which allowed the spark they had struck to catch and spread. And they sought inclusion in an America that had made them second-class citizens, which helped America become what it had pretended to be.”

In light of Geithner, Daschle, Rangel, and the other shenanigans in Washington, I’d like to see angry taxpayers staging sit-ins at federal buildings around the country. It would be another effort to see America live up to its ideals, and see that the same rules apply to everyone, without discrimination . . . .
