@Ten and they aren't even lined up straight

thank you

do you know how difficult it is to educate the complacent masses? first, you have to get their attention, and be able to hold it. this isn't something that can come from outside; this has to be an internal, or intrinsic motivation. then, whether you are right or not still doesn't matter. you have to convince them. this requires understanding debate. see, you can't just tell them. you have to tell them what you are about tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them. and you have to do so more convincingly than hey hold any current prejudices. and it's only then that their bs, having been laid bare for all to see, will get a fair consideration.

I know all this and think about it, and sometimes find it so disenchanting that I want to be a fascist about it and just make the "bad-thought" illegal while killing all those who disagree. fortunately, I have you to save me.
