This brings one back to the "squeaky wheel" truism.
In Sunday School one learns the story of "the unjust judge",
bureaucracy is classic "unjust judge" and the solution in
both cases is the same.
Pound on the door until they relent and do the right thing,
and as appropriate enlist others to the cause.
The bad guys in politics do this all the time for their
pet radical causes, no reason the good guys cannot use
it to clean up the spectrum.
