And what is it that you intend to accept rather than protest?
Do you propose to accept everything, rather than be accused
of protesting everything?

AWWWW, I feel SO sorry for them. We put a bad taste in their mouths,
when what they deserved was to be run out of town, sued to the
gills, thrown in jail, had their self-serving laws declared 
unconstitutional, changed their laws behind their backs... and 
(to make things even) ... had childeren of their sex killed at
birth, had all their property rights removed, denied them access
to an education, humiliated them regularly and pubically, had 
degrading pornographic films taken of them and used against them
socially, professionally and psychologically, and used them as
domestic slaves for four thousand years.  

I'm SO afraid of putting a bad taste in their mouths, oh, yes.

And you think that whispering your views will make them listen?
I've got news for you.  If you whisper, your voice will be ignored,
just like I almost ignored your timid little mealy-mouthed posting.
