The more implicated in things, the more people will calculate how this action would impact on their own plan of action, the less implicated they are, the more they just want to protest vociferously. <br /><br />I am for getting the maximum number of people on board in a loud protest. It's the first (sometimes the only) engagement they will have, but it is important to have that at least.<br /><br />My general philosopy for most things is 'advance on all fronts'.
