Instead of trying to figure out the perfect, morally correct tactics, what
one has to do is do something, think about what you've done, then change
your tactics incorporating what you've learned.

Trying to do anything that isn't inherently simple involves evolution of
tactics.

As for interfering with the communication channels of those who interfere
with other's basic human rights... I don't have a problem with that.

In an unjust society if you play by the rules, you don't play. We are really
seeing this in Vancouver, with lawful protests being charged thousands of
dollars for "police protection."

But if people choose to restrict themselves to working by the books, I don't
have a problem with that. They're doing something and may end up improving
things.

The key is to keep positive, keep thinking, and to concentrate on
commonality, so sectarianism doesn't incite us to war with each other,
rather than the man. :)
