Sometimes I wonder if the anti-rights advocates’ best tactic is to simply step back for a little while, and let the pro-rights activists tear themselves apart from the inside.
I suppose like all big groups of people, it seems as though we have no shortage of individuals ready and willing to sell out anyone, even those more-or-less on their side, when those “anyones” are not doing things the way the individuals in question want it to be done. And obviously the mature, rational, and reasonable method of handling these differences of opinion is sowing strife, dissent, and dischord wherever you go.

I wonder how long it would take us… or, more specifically, I wonder how long we would last.
*sigh* I guess the moral of the story is that there are “TRUE BELIEVERS” everywhere, even in groups of people looking to preserve everyone’s rights, and if you do not operate in accord with that “TRUE BELIEVER”‘s desires, you are just as bad as the opposition. Or so they would have you believe…
