That's probably the only real conclusion to draw from what I said, but I guess not quite what I said. I don't really advocate that nothing should be done but I just can't really see how it could given certain realities and I wonder to what end measures should be undertaken. That's very similar I guess to "we just need to learn to live with it" but there's an important acknowledgement there that I make which is that inaction, while perhaps inevitable, is going to lead consequences that we aren't going to like.
