Grimmy: You mean there's hope that the minority of the sane will increase in size? I had a personal conquest in that I finally got the message through yesterday to a co-worker as to why I don't go along with the rest of the sheep that believe Jimmy Carter is a saint whose shyte don't stink. I did this through presentation of the ex-prez's record of "achievements" and how that got us to where we are today. And also through citing certain passages of Saint Jimmy's book (choke) to show what a bigot he truly is... the man's own printed words are hard for him to deny or defend! My co-worker was a bit shocked, to say the least - after all, he is Habitat for Humanity... a Nobel Peace Prize winner... a God-fearing man! I swear, it was like the scales had fallen from his eyes. But my God, was he resistant! He just didn't want to know! I kept at him only because he kept brow-beating me about my political beliefs and my not-so-flattering opinion of St. Jimmy (well, hell - what should I expect? I live in a blue state). But, hey - I finally got one of them to understand that no-one is really what the meadia presents, and before one person condemns another person's opinion, it would be better to ask "why" first - it could be an eye-opener (or at least broaden one's narrow little mind just a peu de peu (how's my accent, DF? ;) ). I am now hopeful and encouraged by this one little victory - I'm not out to "convert the masses", just to spread the word to people to get ALL the facts, for God's sake, before you go blindly with the flow of popular opinion, and think for your own damn self! I'm going to reward myself now with a strong cup of java and a donut! Iwo the Barbarian
