50. Give them the break, they would never give you!
I have been to all too many ill-organized rallies, where brave friends desperately tried to make it look real for all the prying eyes. I knew we meant well, I knew we had the Good Fight and the Strong Arguments - but at that moment we were just a small fuzzy group of unfocused resistance.

I am not USAnian, and just peeking in from across the Ocean. But right now, your group has won that Big Fight. Your people are in power. For my taste that is not the perfect time to bully the unlucky losers. I am still in that fight in my country, and we often look ridiculous doing it.

It is fine to tease them a little - and it is fun to see Big Media try to make a Grassroots Movement with such great incompetence. But I find it more interesting, that they feel so powerless and desperate, they have to imitate their own worst enemies!
