Alex...what is “how can we in the center-right go about deprogramming Generation X and Generation.com, and make them realize there’s stuff a helluva lot more important out there than American Idol and the World Cup?”
Unfortunately, I think the answer to that one is: “It can’t be done.”
Okay, so let's either get busy surrendering or get busy shooting. One or the other, 'cause this sitting around pi**ing and moaning about how bad things are crap is getting old and boring.
IMNSHO, I don't believe "it can't be done", because there are entirely too many things we haven't tried, before resorting to one or the other of the two above mentioned scenarios. But it seems to me there are only two schools of thought on FReep these days...the surrender monkeys and those who are itching for a fight. Mind you, if those were the only two options, I'd die surrounded by empty cartridge cases, but God help us either of those come to pass. Especially considering we haven't even begun to use the tools at our disposal to do it the way it's supposed to be done.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
