I do. Doesn't change the message. Brewer didn't veto the law because it was wrong but because it became economically and therefore politically unpalatable. Your are NEVER going to change the mind of these batshit crazy bigots. You will always have change of hearts on a micro-scale but never on a macro-scale. You have to shape the message and the effort to make it impossible to achieve their goals. You have to make it so financially and politically untenable that it isn't worth the effort. That is the point i am trying to make.
