That works on some people ( though they more often than not relapse, once out of earshot to you ! ), but not on many. I know people, unfortunately, who will listen intently and agree with anyone who has their ear. It's just a matter of who they've been listening to last.

And once we've " converted "/educated a few, what then? There is no HYDE PARK CORNER in America. What are we to do, wander American streets playing at the Ancient Mariner ? Kidnap known Liberals, tie them up, and force them to listen to Rush and Sean and Brit and us ? I'm all for reprogramming centers a la Mao, but that's illegal and President Bush is no Reagan, when it comes to public speaking; unfortunately.

Hehe! Well, but the sitcom watchers and otherwise distracted individuals can be roped in, if they can be convinced to care.

Take, for instance, the famous 'political quiz' that the LP pushes. The vast majority find themselves in the libertarian quadrant, they just don't know it. Likewise, I have had several people in my car with AM on, and they find themselves agreeing with Rush, even Savage. They just don't know any better. Our educational efforts frankly suck.

BTW, I don't vote LP, but I use them by way of example here.
