Sadly, most posters here are too

young to remember her act, and the social climate it occurred in.

I was pretty young myself. But

I remember much of what happened afterwards.

Ah, yes! High school and forced

integration. One of the stupidest, most destructive social experiments ever concieved in the deepest levels of

liberal ignorance.

Rosa Parks was a brave woman who stood up for something she believed in. I don't hold her

responsible for the damage done by well meaning but utterly thoughtless fools as a result.

...A great patriot, who only

got honored by accident. Civil disobedience is necessary to healthy democracy, unfortunately. She picked her battle

well. God bless her, and thank you Rosa!
