We have ourselves to blame. The lack of a unified voice for cavers in the beginning was our downfall but I cannot blame everyone since in the beginning we did not know much about WNS. All we can hope for is to learn from our mistakes and not make them again. The NSS failed its members (at least in the beginning) and cavers themselves drove each other apart with differing views which severely damaged our public image.
Waving the white flag changes nothing. Same as in the beginning. If you let the CBD gain ground we may lose more than what we already have.
Do I detect multiple weenies in the audience? I believe I do. Same problem as in the beginning. A lack of willingness to do anything. Pitiful.
The NSS should also petition the White House and tell the President why the CBD's plan is just plain wrong.
