As I continue to read your postings I can't help but wonder if you are aware 
of the reality of vulnerability in the face of a gross imbalance in power. 
(And I am envious). This reality applies to individuals, front line workers, 
grass roots organizations... Are you familiar with the term non-compliant 
and the many ways it can be used to cease self or other advocacy? This 
simple word has the power to stop income and/or much needed resources. Yes, 
there is very real risk for individuals to speak out when their livelihoods 
or programs rely on the generosity (sometimes whim) of others.
