Safe as milk's problem (other than having the rhetoric skills of a teenager), is that his view of civil disobedience as a protest tactic is too narrowly focussed. Sure, directly disrupting some people going about their business will piss some of them off*. But the people disrupted is a tiny fraction of the people who the protest message reaches. When you look at the broader picture of a protest action, you can see how an act of disruption can actually lead to greater awareness and support for the protest cause.

* Interestingly, as safe as milk would know if he'd ever been to a protest, not everyone who is disrupted is pissed off about the disruption. It's very common to find supporters amongst the disrupted.
