As soon as you come up with YOUR ideas on what can be done to alleviate the situation, feel free to contribute. Otherwise, I'd agree you shouldn't bother anymore.

I think he was suggesting the same plan as you were, and demonstrating (to me, anyway) how absurd and unfair it would be when you are on the receiving end of "the solution" you proposed. I didn't think it was any more emotional (or unworkable) than your post.
Breaking promises, imposing ultimatums, expelling people from their homes.. these are the things your are suggesting. Haven't we heard this story before? And call me crazy, but I think anyone who
doesn't want to join a society that condones (or outright promotes) this kind of behaviour from its government is the smart one.
