A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs

by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood.
— “Civil Disobedience,”
Henry David Thoreau

According to Thoreau, how can a minority exercise power?

by following the laws that the majority agree upon

by engaging in violent conflict when necessary
by protesting as a group in a nonviolent way

by ensuring that just people are not imprisoned

Write a poem on family using the sources of reproduction, socialization, cultural, affectional and economics,
scoundrel [369]

Answer:Music and food,

that’s my familia,

memorabilia

of spirit-brood,

silly or lewd,

laughing out loud,

stray island crowd

making up topics,

memory’s tropics

under a cloud.

Dad wasn’t square with us, hid who he was.

Adman, Mad Man, cad, dear old dad

Told us he was French and Italian.

Where, I wondered, was la famiglia?

In Lingayen Pangasinan,

Far away and long ago.

Visiting your parents without

you feels like treason.

Hung frames are well composed

without me, with people well before me.

I had no good reason

to infiltrate the frame

with suspect execution.

Mama laughs and pretends

that puffs of flour are dragon breaths.

There are more earthworms than I dreamed possible.

My arms wrap all the way around

part of her.

Family may come to us from other bloodlines—

when the ones with which we shared a womb are unable to love us back.

We realize then-

it is more than blood that binds us.

We are spiritual kin.

Her name, written in ashes floating over Bergen Belsen,

Is mine now.

I imagine she’s smiling,

Remembered in America.

La familia, fuente de perseverancia y pilar de todo aquel que ha caído.

En ella encuentras la paz y el refugio cuando te encuentras perdido.

La familia, fuente de fortaleza

Para todo aquel reprimido

We are the palliative care. The family.

Cancer eats our kind but we circle, strong,

tighten the pack, carry the weak

to the next world, let go

only to find them again later

calling us home.

Seeing Father, a steely, serious man, care for his dying mother with exquisite tenderness, transformed in an instant a long, hard-held perception of his coldness into hot, exploding truth.

It’s not the name

nor is it the blood

It’s the connection built up

through mind body and soul

your brothers are more than siblings

and the only word to describe that connection

is brotherhood

Two loving mothers

Female sibling, dogs, and cat

And me, the one male

The Wilsons live life loud.

if we make a sound

we stand proud

and say it loud

quite is not fun

When we run everyone can hear us

we are louder than a bus
