Whatever the merits of the approach, a sense of civility and politeness is required to keep posting on this thread. It's not hard to disagree courteously and move on. Hyping and bashing and general playground screaming will not be allowed. Thanks everyone.

you need a message that speaks to a higher level of politics, ethics and concern for people and the world we live in. That is the very reason why freedom of speech is so important. But freedom of speech is difficult. It is untidy. People use it to obfuscate and to distort. But, ultimately truth prevails. However, there are some things that will take longer than a lifetime to thoroughly vet out. You are generally right, though, about the rah, rah types. They are not interested in the truth. They want the truth to fit their point of view. Not all points of view, however, are equally valid. Some are very bad.
