We held out our hands 20 years ago, and kept that up for quite a while. We got laughed at, or worse. Sure, doing the right thing would probably mean doing it again and again, even though "they" keep responding with erecting ever more barriers, and lobbying for ever more repressive legislation. But personally, I'm tired of it. 20 years ago I believed we could bring them along, and I put a lot of time and energy into it. Now I'm just hoping they'll disappear a.s.a.p., before they manage to destroy our civil liberties with what remains of their power.
