If you find a change truly intolerable, then block it.  If your block
is overruled by a majority vote, then you're functioning in a majority
rule system, and 'life, liberty, and property is not safe when the
legislature is in session'.

Becky Weaver's advice is extremely valuable for effective politicking
in a majority rule system.
