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.
I've probably takled to, argued, pontificated, lectured, hectored,and debated more people, than most. I've done this almost my entire life. Yes, I have educated many and " converted " some. We just can't ever know how many stay enlightened. That's the sad, but true fact.Many, we'll never reach and most will backslide; turned by someone else, or by watching the nightly news on the networks, instead of FNC.
