It's the libertarian amoungst us and the Anarchists doing their thing.
We should provide alternatives, where people are blocked or freedom are in danger, but do we need to challenge authority on every controversial matter? Some of these causes have a very negative impact and should be avoided. I guess it's in our nature to help, but we need to pick the fights we have the best chance to win. ;) |
