Yep. I <em>try</em> to think that the only time to finally give up is when they take a dirt nap. But some folks? Seriously, it seems as though they've made too much use of their D-I-Y Home Lobotomy Kit. Then, of course, there are those who have had their hearts removed and replaced with stone. For those, I fear there is no real hope this side of a Damascus Road experience. And even then, most of that ilk would simply shrug it off. “You never know when a person’s brain will wake up and slap their heart around until they both line up facing the truth.”

Every now and then though I am pleasantly surprised to find that some of the people most in need of a decent civics education are merely ignorant instead of utterly stupid. Keep on pounding truth into people's heads. You never know when a person's brain will wake up and slap their heart around until they both line up facing the truth.
