[Quix]

You may not know, I've begun an experiment with a son of a Quaker couple who is an assistant at the pottery studio at the college. He's very liberal--so much so that he proudly asserts that his classmates call him a Commie.

But he shows SOME evidence of SOME fair-mindedness.

I have asked him if I could hire him to read some conservative documents at his usual hourly pay rate. He's said yes. That was 2-3 months ago. A couple of weeks ago he said he was going to get to it as he needs the money. He's scheduled a trip to Europe.

I've told him the requirement is to underline/mark the documents and be ready to summarize them to me to demonstrate that he read them and to be able to tell me what he thinks of them.

I've told him it is partly a check--a reality check on my part--that I'd like to see and understand how youth of his era relate to such issues and facts.

I also plan to use the resulting responses to help select docs which have the most impact on such mentalities to distribute in my network well prior to the election.

I think if each FREEPER targeted even just 1-2--but especially 3-5 likely liberal voters who were fair-minded enough to listen to facts and reason--it could have a big impact in a lot of key states.

What do you think?

Thanks for the affirmation!

I think you have both a gift for teaching and a patient, generous heart. Thank you for reaching out to the misled youth, Quix.

One person can make a big difference. If nothing else, your 'student' may someday realize that a you, a Christian conservative, reached out to him, to enlighten - not condemn.
