Patricia I know it's just "the principal" and trust me, I get that. I really do. In fact one of the hardest things to overcome for me has been recognizing the point of diminishing returns in various activities and constantly adapting that to changes in life.
You are incredibly bright and demonstrate boundless energy. Have you ever felt like your talents are being deeply shortchanged by your hyper-focus on the comparatively paltry sums involved in your protests? Just the time you have spent here on Punaweb could have paid for years of road (or whatever) fees. Imagine if you had earned just $20/hr for all of the years of research you've done. You would be way ahead financially and have far fewer negative vibes in the bargain. Again, I realize how invested you are in all of this and I understand the principal of the principal. I get it.
This is certainly a case where I recognize this because I've seen it in myself so please resist the pattern of seeing this as an attack.
