Thoreau
I found this reading interesting because it is directly written to the little man. I thought the big picture in this reading was that government was overall bad and it has ultimately hindered out success. I do like that he states he does not like a big government but I still believe a government is required to over see our actions as citizens. I also found it very interesting that Thoreau stated that it is not only our right, but our duty to rebel against our government.

I also enjoyed this reading. Loved his opinions on governments role and how its only to be regarded a necessary evil to an end that keeps us civil.
