There's a time and a place for everything... and that includes direct action. Certain places need to be shut down, and if the governments not willing, then I will do it myself. Yes, there is a place for direct action, as part of a multi-pronged approach.

In the public arena, any sign of extremism is likely to be met with extreme measures. I've managed to stay out of jails and mental hospitals this long, and I really don't want to start now.

Peaceful protest can take extreme forms too, but taking NT public opinion with us seems too valuable a chance to be careless with.
