Dissent has to have room for dissent. It's Bush, and the Police, who believe "my way or the highway." Let's not become a mirror image of our opposition.
Yeah, mirrors reverse all the signs, but they look pretty much the same as the image reflected unless you look really closely. In the end, an image and its reflection are effectively identical. We should refuse to let our opposition determine our image.
Nothing confuses a "with us or against us" guy like subtlety, and heterodoxy. If you saw the look on the Deputy Chief's face when the "nice" people went for the un-permitted march on Clark, you'd understand that.
We didn't achieve exactly what we set out to achieve, but we got something even better. Saturday was a victory.
