Things most certainly changed. Now google has to beg me for it. Come on Google, beg. But maybe your point is that resistance is futile and why even try to fight it just give in and let it happen. I don't know but mama didn't raise no quitter, I don't know about you but to each his own eh.

This is one battle in the long war, my friend. If you want to kill them, these kinds of steps are absolutely essential. You can't just go back in time and snipe Hitler, you have to fight on the beaches, on the fields and in the streets, and you must never surrender.
