Absolutely, Chunkster. Well stated. Mahalo for the balancing of my na'au in this part of the TMT discussion.
As of this hour, it is my understanding the arrests so far were handled with utmost respect from both sides. $250 bail set, and paperwork, all pau (go eat lunch, go home, go back up mauka, etc.).
JMO.
ETA: (*off topic, sorry, but found this interesting)
"Gandhi called his overall method of non-violent action Satyagraha. This translates roughly as "Truth-force." A fuller rendering, though, would be "the force that is generated through adherence to Truth."
"Gandhi practiced two types of Satyagraha in his mass campaigns. The first was civil disobedience, which entailed breaking a law and courting arrest. When we today hear this term, our minds tend to stress the "disobedience" part of it. But for Gandhi, "civil" was just as important. He used "civil" here not just in its meaning of "relating to citizenship and government" but also in its meaning of "civilized" or "polite." And that's exactly what Gandhi strove for.
