The real, real threat...

[Cirsium]

4. Yes, if...

There's more of us than there are of them, if people take a stand. It doesn't matter how many people believe this or that, it matters how many are willing to fight.

"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject." John Stuart Mill

Right wing laws are threatening doctors in order to discourage them from caring for their patients. How many doctors have been arrested because they refused to deny their patients the care they need? How many are going along to get along and playing it safe?

Maybe it is "not that bad yet?" Maybe we hope it will pass? Maybe we think that it doesn't matter what we do?
