No issue can be negotiated unless you first have the clout to compel negotiation.

Never do for someone what they can do for themselves.

The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.

Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins - or which is which), the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom - Lucifer.

Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.

If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.

Action comes from keeping the heat on. No politician can sit on a hot issue if you make it hot enough.
