Resistence to civil government

Resistence to Civil Government is a strong paper. When you read it you can really see Henry David Thoreau's anger in the government. I really like it in the paper when Henry writes about how he can't imagine a state in which he can be treated as an equal "I please myself with imagining a state at last which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor." I also liked how he talks about how the government needs to back off and man needs to step up and better themselves in order to govern themselves.
