Because I can't believe, not even for a moment, that people like Roeland
Meyer, Mikki Barry, Ellen Rony, Karl Auerbach, and so on, and so forth, are
giving up.

Because I can't think that all the people that have participated to these
debates in the last years, often providing their criticism, but often in a
constructive way, are now leaving the floor to the "yes-men" and to the
"no-men" (i.e. the people for which everything is fine, and the people for
which everything is broken, both categories of people having in common the
same lack of interest in what the situation "really" is, and how it could be
amended).

Because I can't accept that we renounce to have the possibility of having a
voice in the process for everybody, including the individuals that are not
part of any constituency, just because were not successful up to now.
