A tipping point. (when the consequences are so steep that the population as a whole rises up for change)
Not to get too far off topic, but I am finding that the population as a whole is becomming far more complacent as time goes by.
Over in Yosemite, they slapped quotas on the cables, and very early on, there was grumbling, but it subsided very quickly. People came to understand that the restrictions were put in for their own good (said partially tongue in cheek)
My faith in the Mass Movement has faded over the recent years, so I am not even sure that slapping quotas on Whitney would cause folks to push for change.
I see the problem as the 'just passin through' situation; folks are willing to put put up with almost anything, once
