I can think of several instances where folks with their backs to the wall
resorted to mass action beyond hope. (Palestinian resistance comes to mind)
However, I think we've exhausted our debate on this issue. I am content to
let it lie here. Aren't you? List denizens will make up their own minds.

Perhaps. I deny it, but ... perhaps.

Ooops. That's close to the outer boundary. I'm invoking the Thumper Rule,
Carrol, and leaving the battlefield for a few beers ... and a chance to
catch this big ol' bass that lives in the creek behind my dwelling place
....
