You can’t sell anything to people with closed minds. Today’s PC public education is producing generations of young adults who have no concept of critical thinking and/or problem solving. The only thing they are receptive to is a free ride.

Without fixing education, any effort to compete with the communists is a waste of time.

I won’t disagree with you about the education system at all...I used to teach college and quit shortly before PC became mandantory...

The selling, though, is in the presentation.

Considering the crap that gets sold in this country, it’s possible to sell anything, even worthwhile stuff. And that’s what we have to figure out...how to compete in the market of ideas and jargon and desirable stuff and get our message out. And then do it.

If we can’t then we don’t have something worth as much as the latest doodad, and that’s a sad commentary on what we believe in. It’s not worth as much as the latest “as sold on TV” gadget.

I can’t believe we would believe that.
