    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Brian. He always said he was not the Mesiah and wasn't. Although he did perform miracles. He made a man who hadn't spoke for 30 years talk again.

    Robert Mugabe fought for his peoples rights over the white minority, so he gets my vote in this thread!

    When i last looked, blowing up a church full of people - killing 19 - singing hymns falls into "Terrorism"
    as were the numerous "necklassing" of blacks and whites that the ANC/MK took part in.
    Or are you saying that the numerous IRA bombings were justified because the IRA happened to believe their civil rights were be trampled.

    Gandi would be a far better example of how to over come tyranny without becoming like your oppressor.

    You'll get a +1 to that off Frank the Tank I reckon :lol:

    Does someone who shows integrity necessarily have to be 'good'? One man's person of strong moral principles that they are prepared to stick to no matter what they have to endure is another man's dictator.

    Fighting the ruling government is always terrorism - unless you win.

    How much of his inherited wealth has the former 2nd Viscount Stansgate given up to the tax man?
