I suppose now the permanent haters, the terminally grumpy, the anarchists, the victims, et al. will claim victory over the same men who serve them? Perhaps we can still be treated the "sky is falling" chorus that serves this forum as anonymous background music. Maybe some more visual stimulus like "we dodged a bullet, but the chamber is still full".

Tell me again why "no membership ratification" will breath life into DPA? This negotiation, process, and LOA appears to have been calmly and expertly handled.
