Tresy,

WTINT (Whap! Thanks, I Needed That), a nicely delivered reality
adjustment.

My proscription is really a simple-minded prescription for a daily dose
of "do and say nothing which validates the use of force or deceit to
achieve any end but self defence."  I would include in this the banding
together in order to assist others in their defence.   An example could
be assisting those who have not had time to study agreements,
organizations, public relations, etc in setting up, running and
protecting a union.
