313. I Agree With You...
But you should be prepared to defend yourself against those who think that "his privacy is more important" and that "we should play nice in order to set a good example".

After all "good always wins" and "evil always loses"? Right.

If we just bide our time and wait long enough, good will win and everything will turn out lovely. So... just sit here and wait. And do nothing. And your basic civil rights and protections will be handed to you on a silver platter.

Eventually.

If you live that long.

Clearly those who are advocating that pollyanna-like do-nothing solution are NOT the ones who have been directly affected by legalized and sanctioned BIGOTRY. Or... they just don't give a damn.

Either way, their do-nothing attitude and their wait-and-see approach has gotten us NOWHERE so far. Yet, still, they INSIST that it needs more time. If we just play nice a little while longer then we'll win.

Wrong-o!

Sadly, I must admit that I feel these folks in our midst are almost as dangerous as Dreier is. I feel that the damage they do... they apathy and lack of action will cause more damage in the long run.

Sad really.
