Fair enough.

I know we agree on many points. I wish it were just that easy.

Chipping away at the laws in place is, and has been our only realistic goal. The day we say "it's all or nothing" we might just find ourselves with nothing, and that is what i fear.

It's become quite apparent this country has become divided on the issue. I give you the AWB of 94' among other ridiculous laws passed over the years as proof. Now would it be in our best interest to say "it all stops today, we will have no compromise. It is all or nothing, we will not have our rights infringed upon. Lets put this to a popular vote..."? Sure that's the stance i believe we all take, but can that be obtained June 7, 2008? Would you feel comfortable drawing the line tomorrow, and trusting the rest of the country liberal or otherwise would follow you in that pursuit? I'm sorry, but i don't have that kind of faith anymore. This is the same country that nominated a junior senator who has accomplished nothing based on a catchy slogan with an empty promise.

I would say agree to disagree, but i don't even think that's true in this case. I agree with a no compromise stance, a right not exercised is a right lost, and so on. The problem i see with that stance is, we have a lot more to lose than we do to gain. It just might be in our best interest to protect what we have, and chip away than take an all of nothing approach at it. That has more or less been the approach to where we are at now, and i don't see that changing.

I think the best thing we can all do is remain vigilant, be proactive, and keep on guard for the legislation that will no doubt follow.
