Description

In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.

    This was an interesting read with a lot of good nuggets. It was a little libertarian at a times, but the main idea is strong. The biggest takeaway being that legality does NOT equal morality and that ethics and laws have never been perfectly aligned.

    HDT speaks to us today as much as he did over 150 years ago. We probably should all reassess our allegiances, and reevaluate our priorities in this life.

    Still relevant... thought provoking. HDT asks several questions that demand attention.
