1. bad tactic?

i agree with the cause, but i have always had doubts about earlier use of this tactic... like blocking whole freeways.

seems to me it just makes folks mad at you and your cause.

other tactics exist, like picket lines with educate the public plackards.

In a cordial vein , could you give me a defense of this car blocking tactic? I have an open mind.

thanks

2. Nuff said ;-)

Why direct action?

You may well ask: "Why direct action? 

Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better
path?" 

You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this
is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action
seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a
community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced
to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that
it can no longer be ignored.

Also, this is a secret so don't tell anyone but it's fun and
very empowering.
