Being retired, he has much time for books.
He studies them from morn till night and often through the night and morn again,
and all he reads oppresses him;
fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man.
He ponders the problem of how to make better a world
where evil brings profit and virtue none at all;
where fraud and deceit are mingled with truth and sincerity.
He broods and broods and broods and broods and finally his brains dry up.
He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity and conceives the strangest project ever imagined....
to become a knight-errant, and sally forth into the world in search of adventures;
to mount a crusade; to raise up the weak and those in need.

All this means that nonviolent revolution in the US is probably even more difficult than in traditional dictatorships. But that does not mean impossible.
