Hi Don, I get what you’re saying. I run a lot like you.
My problem with this is that if you don’t stand on principle because, it’s not culturally valued, is a futile endeavor, I-can-take-informed-measures-to-protect-myself-and-will, etc, then the hoi polloi, who would be about as likely to change a setting or take prudent measures as a squirrel would be to stare at a smart phone all day, gets a long deep continuous drubbing and those protecting themselves by being informed and taking prudent measures (us) are forced to take ever greater measures because the trend away from principle is strong and getting stronger every day until, one day, there’s no more principle to stand on. Oops?
