Rumors had begun to circulate down at the docks that yet another Kidd was campaigning for governor. While it was indeed true that Stephen was campaigning, the basis of his campaigning was off. Standing on a large wooden crate Stephen gestured emphatically as he spoke to a horde of people gathered around.
"Me friends I stand before ye today implorin' ye tae consider yer future within this city! There is currently in this city several people campaignin' wha' tae be yer Governor. Is there but one o' them tha' could be pointed out as a 'onorable man, or woman' The answer me friends be NAE!! They do nae come humbly before ye tae serve, but proudly seekin' 'onors fer themself."
Stephen pauses pointing to a large barrel chested man.
"Ye mister Adler...Do ye need me tae tell ye 'ow tae conduct yer business, tae set policy in yer own life?"
The answer came back a solid no as the big man shook his head.
"Do any o' ye need someone wha' doe's nae even know ye tae tell ye 'ow best ye migh' live?"
This time the answer thundered back at Stephen as the people shouted no in one voice.
"There be a essay tha' I 'ave been readin' titled Civil Disobedience written by a man named Thoreau. 'E says an I be inclined tae agree. ?"That government is best which governs least.; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out it fairly amounts to this which also I believe- That government is best which governs not at all."
"Soon the elections shall be upon us an' the people in power will ask us tae blindly line up a' the pollin' places an' cast our ballots fer someone wha' be nae fit tae pour piss from a boot wit' the instructions printed on the heel. I say NAE!!! We do nae show up..we do nae vote, an' we send a message tae these 'onorable men that we dun need nor consent EVER!!! tae any rule but our own!!!!"
The crowd roared loudly with their cheers as Stephen finished and stepped down from the crate.
