I agree with a statement by Robert Lancaster that it is important to stand
up against things you believe are serious infringements of basic rights ..
like privacy. As he said, I think quoting Churchhill, "losing the fight is
only defeat, not fighting is surrender."
Impossible odds can be just temporary illusions, it is always difficult to
say. Plus -- isn't the emergent argument that which argues for the
existence of fringe extremeists that don't fit in and how they help slowly
change the entire pattern over time? Plus, sometimes shooting one arrow
into the middle of a tightly held position that is anti all you believe to
be right or correct, can help disintegrate that integral position which is
often held too tightly due to its wrongness.
