Actually, I think voting kind of outweighs the power of the press and protesting when it comes to making our voices heard. And if one acknowledges that, we are right where we should be.

I don't get you JaFra. From your story... seems like it didn't work at all. You pressured them... they didn't give, and so you bailed. I would have to say that negotiating tactic was entirely unsuccessful.
