Phillip,
The reason for maintaining resisitance against the policy-makers is the same
reason you became disgusted with the field.
I have spent numerous hours reading and posting to XMCA because I feel it
necessary to resist against policy-makers, granted xmca is rather low on the
policy totem but still it is of much greater significance then writing
editorials to my local newspaper.
Practice is the substance of change and removing oneself from active practice
will only remove oneself from active understanding of the actual substance
one is theorizing about.
