No. I KNOW that there are some people who, no matter what, will CHOOSE to continue fighting. I am not stupid. I know how human nature works. It's messy, and complicated, and things are rarely as simple as they seem. I am not trying to warp anything to fit my ideals. I am trying to look HONESTLY and OBJECTIVELY at how OUR ACTIONS cause certain results. If people aren't ever willing to look at their own behavior, then how smart are they? I would say, not very.

You know how Albert Einstein defined insanity?
