It wasn't "civil disobedience" that lifted Prohibition... it was the gigantic black market that bred organized crime (Al Capone made his money bootlegging liquor) that ended Prohibition.
If you had read the article at all, you would have seen that Moore's bias is ignored. This incredibly lengthy article points out all the lies and deceit used in Bowling. Moore claims that people said things they never said, at times that are completely false.

>> Excuse me, but I still think they're selfish, self-centred and insensitive. The correct thing to do would have been to cancel, postpone or relocate.
Excuse me, but the NRA is required by law to hold an annual meeting, and must inform members of a reschedule/relocation TEN DAYS ahead of time. Columbine occurred eleven days prior to the convention, so the NRA would have had 24 hours to notify it's FOUR MILLION MEMBERS of a change. So they cut the whole shebang down to the keynote speech and the meeting itself. All other activities and celebrations were cancelled.
The reason we're called "zealots" (yep, I use Gentoo as well) is because everytime a Linux article comes out on/. there are 30 comments that say "What's the big deal, Gentoo already does this" or "All I have to do is emerge -lskfa file", and it's completely irrelevant.
I love the way Gentoo works, and I understand that there are many people who feel the same way I do. But keep it to yourself unless someone is specifically asking for advice on a distro to try. People are sick of hearing us push Gentoo at every freaking opportunity.
