All,
This is really just a little thing for fun.
We often talk about the watershed - the moment 'everyone' realizes a serious change. The change may still years to materialize in a concrete fashion, but the watershed has determined the outcome.
There will of course always be some within the community who refuses to 'give up' or give way.
Which watershed moments can we point to? I have a few of them:
Tet offensive (I think): it convinced 'everyone' that it was a losing proposition. Never mind it still took years to get out.
1976 Soweto uprising: Not sure about this one. I would rather point to the state of emergency in 1984 as the watershed moment. From there it was downhill.
