[HumJanenge] Re: Please think of the Nation

Dear David

Thank you for your appreciation of this group's efforts. The apathy
and simply "get used to it" approach is frustrating. I want to repeat
here what another internet friend has emailed me to today morning
about a similar such hopeless / apathetic situation.

"I need to inject a strenuous objection to the response "get used to
it." which affects me much like the supposed red flag and the bull. I
will stipulate the enormous odds that face whoever will refuse to
"get used to it," but we had better remember that just about anyone
who has refused to "get used to" hundreds or thousands of hopeless
situations throughout most of human history has faced impossible odds
except that in quite a few cases they turned out not to be
impossible. Yes. this is a tough one. They have all been tough. The
truly hopeless response, however, is only surrender. II'll stick with
Churchill…Never give in, Never give in Never never never NEVER. Losing
the fight is only defeat. Get used to it is surrender."
