Flexibility

The overall effect will have been
to slow down the processes of
justice, the alienation of a few
friends and little else. Flexibility is
one of the strong points of the
government in this country. It can
bend to process a few thousand
demonstrators, people can drive
across different bridges to get to
work. If the goal is to stop the
government, it will have to be done
away with, along with its strongest
friends.
