Well you had the chance and you threw it away. I guess some people would rather gloat and say I-told-you-so than actually do anything. Something about part of the problem vs the solution.
I would hasten to suggest you all take up ITCZ's (very belated) notion of writing to Our Beloved Leader and his arse-kissing friends and registering your disgust.
Either that or warm up your gums and grab your spot at The Wall.
Would've been nice to have had a proper warning about this before it happened but there you go....
