and, yeah, we've let these professional opportunists prey on our good natures for far too long. They count on us never standing up to them for our legitimate rights, interests and view-points, so that their minimalist, manipulative, emasculating and patronizing agenda gets pursued by default every time. (They reason that we are so demoralized and worn down by the Man's imposed struggle to Live that we'll meekly settle for their second-worst offerings.).

We need to straighten this movement out, from top to bottom, even if, in the short term, it means the missing of a meeting or demo, or the taking out of some very dead wood.
