Saul Alinsky and The Rules for Radicals

 Always agitate, always stir something up and  never let things settle down and stabilize. Push until you get what you want and then immediately demand the next thing on your list. Demand and never ask be surly, menacing and as confrontational as possible. This is, I believe, is a reasonable summary and description of Saul Alinsky and hus rulkes to radical.

  Is there ever a time to say, " We need to rest, pause adjust and function well, smoothly, contently and effectively in the midst of what change and adjustment has already been" as a society and as a nation. Is there ever a time for the protesters, for those who appear to the otherside to have ever increasing and escalating demands to say, " Thank you. We are appreciative. It is clear that you responded. So, While we are not finished. We see the need for a cooling off and calming down" period.

 People and nations work best when people have time to gracefully and thoughtfully, creating the least possible disruption POSSIBLE , to let change in a proper way become a workable and as non-stressful as possible part and portion of the way we operate! This concept does not seem to be found anywhere in the rules for radicals.
