Q. I am soooooooooooo sick of working with single issue ideologues, who tell me to reject an offer to set up a one year pilot project is "unacceptable". I'm ready to punch them out.
A. Calm down, and be patient. All you want to do is win some positive policy change. Ideologues sometimes need help with the fundimental conflict between their subjective expectations and cruel reality of the policy making process. Sooner or later they'll learn they have to take what they get and be thankful for it. Meanwhile don't expect any of those thanks to be directed to you
