More likely what comes back down is "This is a general harm, not a specific harm, meaning it's the problem of Congress". At which point your principled stand has consumed significant time and money to accomplish very little.
Activism has to be balanced against the costs and odds of success.
- stickfigure 12y agoIt seems to me that consuming significant time and money is a fair accomplishment. Morally offensive laws, processes, and behaviors should gum up the works. It provides an incentive to remove them.
