I understand and empathize your point of view. Let me just quote something from a book I am reading (it is French): « Nous sommes entrés dans un temps où se tenir debout avec dignité devient un acte de résistance. Où choisir - chaque jour - de rester humain, de faire ce qu'on peut là où on est, de ne pas laisser la peur ou la colère tout emporter est un engagement radical » I hope you reevaluate your position in the future. [...] Thanks, Olivier -- Olivier Dion
