Wisconsin irony:

We're prepared to do whatever it takes to kill the bill or shut it down," said Daniel Ginsberg of Milwaukee, an organizer with Students for a Democratic Society.

Yes, whatever it takes.

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere."
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Abigail Adams, February 22, 1787

Sure. Note that 'rebellion' and 'democracy' are two different *words*, because they're two different *things*.

[arthur_sc_king]

Oh, yes, I get that. And I do get the irony in the original post. But "democracy" and "rebellion" aren't antonyms, and sometimes the one requires a bit of the other.

I'm highly amused that that quote has been scrubbed from the article.

[phanatic]

Wow. Yeah.

[foreverbeach]

By amused you mean not surprised at all.

It's a little late for that ... the bill's been passed, and presumably Walker will sign and enforce it.
