Subject: RE: BS: The US lunatic right
You know, I have a recurring thought. Yes, a thought. I know they are dangerous, but I can't help myself. I just think.

Anyway, my thought is...we *know* these people are fact-averse, logic-phobic, and rejecting of anything discovered by the scientific process. But somehow, somewhere we *have* to talk to them and help them see the error in their ways.

I am totally without clue as to how to do this. I mean, how do you lead someone through a fact-based logical sequence when they think that facts and logic are some sort of anti-Christ program? I don't even know what passes for logic in their paradigm. But until we crack the formula, we will have to accept this ninniness as part of the American political landscape.
