I agree to a large degree. It is not that we must choose between a utopian
strategy and a practical one. We MUST do both. ANd I, too, am willing to
work with even corrupt politicians. Indeed, I think we must work with
everyone we can -- except we must never work with those who we know are
criminals. This means that we are few and we will lose many battles that
we might otherwise win. But maybe we will win the war
