It's pretty simple: He's accusing me of having given up, whereas I've been saying all along that we should continue to fight the good fight and not give up. He says:
> What you're really saying is that working against the development of surveillance and control technologies by private capital and government decision makers is hard and so is not "practical."
-- when I never once said that. His words imply that I said I gave up, and I never did, in fact quite the opposite.
Maybe he takes issue with the fact that I acknowledge that it's a difficult fight, not an easy one, but whatever. I said what I came to say and I stand by it.

Let me repeat this for the third time: the only thing I object to about your original post is the use of the cliche "it's not practical!" argument. Saying "it's difficult" is one thing, because the obvious next question is "what makes it difficult?" Saying "it's not practical" is a lazy way to shut a conversation down and by implication accuse whoever is advocating the "impractical" point of view of having a poor grasp of reality.
