> civil disobedience is more effective at changing the status quo than e-mail campaigns

Email campaigns and signing petitions is much easier to do as people don't need to get up off their assess but still get to feel like they've helped.

"Feeling" like you've helped more often then not does more harm than good unless it leads to action; signing petition unless there's an expressed count required for action that's enforceable is often meaningless.
