Now now, I'm not saying don't repair the damage.

What I am trying to get at is that there has to be another solution to this. We are all intelligent, responsible adults. Surely there must be some way that we can put our collective heads together and beat a couple of dozen snotty-nosed kids at their own game, without getting on the wrong side of the law and without requiring the injection of vast tranches of taxpayers money.

I don't know what the solution to the problem is, I wish I did. But I do know that attempting to appease tyrants, thugs and bullies has never worked. Indeed the original Vandals viewed all attempts to placate them as weakness and earned the placaters nothing but scorn, rape and pillage. Stoical endurance doesn't work either, nor does ignoring the problem and hoping that it will go away or hoping that someone else will step in and solve the problem for us.
