But the real intellectual question is what do we do in the mean time? Work within the system we have to try and make it better, or just sit it out as everything rots, speak about the system we "should" have (but don't) and mock those who actually are working within the framework we currently have to try and at least lessen the damage. And admittedly, lessening the damage is still damage, but it is intellectually dishonest to fail to realize less damage or a slower rate of damage is not better as attempts are made to find a better long term path.

And I am not flaming. That is pretty much what it comes down, and for many sharing your views it is pretty clear which choice they make.
