The uncomfortable reality that most here don't want to face is that we're the people that the powers that be want to get rid of, rather than their obedient lemmings.

It's reassuring to me that they are being so careful not to just go in and start physical conflict. They recognize us as the porcupine we are, which buys us time. They know we're able to go to blows, they don't want us to become willing or obligated to do so.
