Tully,

You are agreeing, then, that the Congressman wannabe poses no immediate trhreat.

He does provide, however, the germ for an interesting conversation about 'appropraite' audiences, barbers, secual partners , and bases for denouncement of politicians.

When conversations consist merely of conclusions, they cease to be thought-provoking or even interesting.

“Always the contrarian, I think the Congressman exemplifies a serious dilemma.”

Fortunately for just about everyone, he's not yet a Congressman, just another wannabe who manages to qualify for the primary ballot.

Tully — that place was a Klan stronghold in the past, don't forget.

And don't forget: “Hoosier daddy?” (as people in, say, St. Louis, ask)

Always the contrarian, I think the Congressman exemplifies a serious dilemma.

If someone believes in the power of words as a tool to bring about a particular change, at what point do you decide that the audience is hopeless? Missionaries don't pick their audiences from the already converted or those presentable in polite society; they just want to spread the Word, whereever and to whomever.

Couldn't this be seen as a case of reaching across a very wide aisle?
