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.
We are supposed to be holding hands singing "kumbayah" ;-)
