"In real life, single individuals do not normally find a way to beat something like that."

That is true. But (I think it was) Seeger who did a song that included a line that went "one and one make a million". If ya don't try, for sure ya lose. If you do, you may lose anyway, but it's kinda neat to let the bastards know they were in a fight. I always hoped that when my time came, I'd be thinking of ways to be "lookin' good." It's a goal at least.
