But you are arguing at the very edges and it seems rather silly to me. To oppose is active. To resist is passive. Going on the offensive to escape change is different from requiring adequate persuasion to embrace a change. I find the distinction significant. Significant enough to make an issue of it, not just arguing for argument's sake, as you suggested earlier. That you find my differentiation silly neither surprises nor bothers me. as they seem very "incompliant" to me. That's yet again a different notion. Compliance is about submitting to authority. Nothing to do with conservation. <g>
