Unfortunately, even if we win, we can’t really let down our guard. It’s inevitable, even when you think it’s over and you’ve won, there’s gonna be SOMEBODY coming along to object, maybe well-funded (and enjoying the hell outta that),
- or they’re driven by true passion, even though they can’t pull themselves up out of the 13th century,
- or maybe there’s a few broken souls who hate knowing others are having a nice mellow time, and they just HAVE TO stop it (whether they themselves were invited or not). As Art Linkletter used to say (while cashing in on TV), “People are Funny!”
