The social hack."...comparisons to the days of civil rights activism, Rosa Parks and the Black Panthers: people fighting for rights they should inalienably have." http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/7/31/75737/5587 "...Civil disobediance is social engineering; it is a hack. Rosa Parks put a clog in the works by doing something no one expected, and modeling a simple, easy to emulate means of protest that soon led to diner sit-ins and boycotts of all kinds. The Black Panthers in Los Angeles expertly manipulated the "rules of the system" to their benefit, policing the police and arming themselves under full protection of law; even Neo, the latter-day hacker icon from The Matrix, could learn a thing or two from the Panthers about making the system work for you."
