With just a little adjustment this sounds like Chomsky's m.o. of getting the facts out there so people can connect the dots and then change (something, somehow). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems to me that all you have to do is show them that there is no way to know all of the bad things they do and theimpacts they have since there is no perfect knowledge of everything. Therefore, context determines everything (ie: historical materialism).
