Thoreau was very much a revolutionary figure in American culture, especially for his views on Christianity and society in America in the 1800's and his views on how government had an obligation beyond that of just war (even so far as to getting arrested for refusing to pay his taxes during the Spanish-American war because he felt that it was illegal). His strong speech against the involvement of organized Christian politics in government were also central to alot of his views. He was hardly anti-religion and considered himself a Christian, but refused to view the fundamentalist machine as something of authority. And, alot of his views on everything from education to slavery and all the way to cultural diversity fall right in line with Marx.

I think it makes quite a lot of sense actually when you read his essay on civil disobedience that later would be used by Martin Luther King Jr. as a major inspiration for his movement.

Da Fuck? I'd like the Marx and lenin figures, don't know thoreau, Mao would make a great long range high percision target. Or just a .22lr target.

Interesting.....

I feel like I'm walking into the room in the middle of an elaborate joke.

Thoreau aside, why are they dressed as backpackers?

I wouldn't pick the bastard up: He'd be complaining the entire way that there wasn't a majority rule on where we were going when everyone in the car ALREADY voted, he's notorious for not chipping in for gas and from what I hear he ALWAYS wants to drive, but when he finally gets behind the wheel he goes in the completely opposite direction than what he promised to do before getting in the car!

The bastard can walk. Buddha walked.

Yeah... I went there.

Lenin: " If that nerd pulls out his ' little red book' one more time and brags about how many " ho's " are in it, I'm dumping his ass on the curbside of History."
Marx: " Yeah. We should have invited that long haired Cuban kid to go with us."
