Thoughts While Shaving - The Pen, the Sword and the Camera

In the 21st century, the phrase "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword" has been updated to "The Video Camera Is Mightier than the (Police-Issue 9mm) Handgun".

It is actually almost directly analogous. If the question is: how does a lowly citizen combat the officially-sanctioned power of the state? Then the answer must be: with a pen; or more commonly today, with an iPhone cam set on 'video'.
