At times, we want things too fast, too much (this being a product of our childhood, of course, since our parents grew up in the depression, then made it, then wanted to give us all the advantages, etc.) But alas again, we must realize that the world out there is imperfect (past progressive), and we should not ask for so much so fast.

But had there been no forcible seizure of the building, there would not have been any reason to call the police; had this seizure not been accompanied by intolerable acts of force and violence, the idea that an early call was necessary...
