I was responding to the parent, a fact you seem to have taken out of context. Care to elaborate on what possibly more could have been done in any of the cited

  > Care to elaborate on what possibly more could have been done in any of the cited examples that wasn't already done? You don't always get your way, you know? You win some, you lose some. That doesn't mean that ... there's no democracy and nothing is possible and woe is us, etc... etc... blah blah blah. > why you feel money should be involved in preserving the right of any sentient being not to be tortured, invaded or denied the right to protest when the former happens. We're not talking about an ideal world (duh), but about the one we inhabit. In this one, sometimes justice is difficult to obtain, and requires sacrifice. So you can either get off your ass and do something, or you can sit around complaining on HN. The former sometimes won't work, or won't accomplish what you had hoped to. The latter is guaranteed to accomplish nothing.

    Perhaps you should re-read what you're responding to. I'm certainly not complaining unless that's how you define discussion that runs contrary to your interests, in which case: why are you here? Also nice edit :-P
