Showing Original Post only (View all)We must show magnanimity to Komen, and all others that relent to our pressures. [View all]
To continue to punish those that see the error of their ways, will harden the hearts of those we oppose. They will fight to the death. This includes the CEO.
We must make giving in to our logic, and compassion, like a cool breeze, or sunlit day. Game theory really.
And even welcome those DINO's that relent.
You must always offer a better way to give in than hari kari. Or you will require hand to hand combat for every victory.
That does not mean we should stop pressure for instance, to replenish stem cell funds.

Komen has not relented to any pressures. They've put out a lying press release - another PR stunt.

I think we'd be damned fools to assume this is over... given the extreme RW tilt of Komen & new VP
