Give me something, anything, by which we can measure your success or failure in influencing government and/or the press.

It's called the satisfaction of taking a stand....a concept you would never understand, and have proven unable to understand with your posts.

Thank God there were very few gutless people like yourself when the original Boston Tea Party happened.

Yeah, I knew you would say something fuzzy and nebulous like that because it's become quite clear you lack the personal integrity to admit you are completely lacking any goal by which to be judged useful or useless.

I suppose now I'll have to read another one of your tiresome attempts to borrow someone else's cleverness by again inventing a similarity between myself and "the dissenter" or whatever it is.

I understand how proud you are of that shiney, new, rhetorical hammer of yours, but you don't earn yourself any credibility by acting as if every problem you have is a nail.
