No matter how agitated or frustrated, there's an elusive ideological threshold with reaching critical mass for online activism and suppression. I suppose my original question was more of a vain hope that you, Kennedy, would have some sort of answer to all of this, but I know that was unlikely. It is such a difficult situation to be in where all you can do is to keep the information alive and hoping, praying even, that simple awareness will somehow, eventually, prompt some real change. Until then, it is just one demoralizing story after another. Ignorance would've been bliss. Thanks.
