Ahhh yes, Thorin, intellectual battle is far more effective than violence. To educate and be smarter than your opponent is the best defense and best form of rebellion~Of course, Latin not Italian.
We must all be able to "size up" our enemies and plan strategies~which require education. The intelligent are much less likely to be controlled and empowered in our society.
Education is not just school but a process of being enlightened~~

I love the quote. It's true in a lot of ways, but education is actually a spark for rebellion. When people are ignorant of issues, they become content with the state they are in, even if people take away their liberties. If educated, they tend to question tyrannical authorities more often. I wish more people were educated...

I think overwhelming firepower, massive military force, superior fighting stradegy, and devine authority would be the most effective form of rebellion....
But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Very often it is an educated populace that leads a rebellion.
