I really appreciate your hard work.

Am still waiting for progress in my experiment with a young Jr College student at the pottery studio. He's called a commie by his classmates. Yet, he SEEMS to have somewhat of an open mind. I've told him I'll pay him about $5.25/hr (his usual rate plus a little) to read some of these sorts of documents, mark them up and discuss them with me. So far, he hasn't made much progress in 2 months.

I'm curious if such a strategy will work at all and what influence such docs might have on such a mind. If it's nil, then the USA is in deeper doodoo than I thought. He's a bright fellow. He does probably get a lot of social currency being a bit of a contrarian and lefty.

It is certainly worthwhile to try it. From what I've seen, young folks are natural skeptics and cynics, and that is not all bad for an inquiring mind.
