» link: woody allen's "brief yet helpful guide to civil disobedience"
one of my all-time favorite non-narrative pieces. originally published in the new york times, it was collected in “without feathers,” which also has two of allen’s plays in it and is worth every penny.
Miscellaneous methods of Civil Disobedience:
Standing in front of City Hall and chanting the word “pudding” until one’s demands are met.
Tying up traffic by leading a flock of sheep into the shopping area.
Phoning members of “the establishment” and singing “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” into the phone.
Dressing as a policeman and then skipping.
Pretending to be an artichoke but punching people as they pass.
