    If the union leaders are inciting illegal behavior, they should be arrested.

    so should the bankers and politicians.

    I bought an AK-47 today ... off a Union man. Seriously they're selling them down on Abbey Street, not too far from Liberty Hall.

    I'm as unhappy as the next person with the way the country is being run.

    But 'civil disobedience' to bring down the government?
    Surely simple protest, to bring down the government, would be more appropriate?

    From what I understand, civil disobedience is what a population might do when their government is oppressing their rights, and it involves the people breaking the law.

    I know FF failing to hold the by-elections is borderline stuff; but the fact remains there has been no widespread popular protest in Ireland. There have been some protests, but its not a huge percentage of the population in the streets.

    Considering the lack of popular protest, is it right for a minority interest group to try and bring down the government?

    Surely they should organise popular protest, first? If they can't get support for popular protest, then is it right for them to try and bring down the government by breaking the law?
