The Amazing WYHTE Phenomenon

It could work like yeast...

Well Dr. Steech, I have no idea what to do about it. If you ever find out, let me know.

One idea that I began this blog for was based upon the following reason. People are elected with >50% of the vote, yet on average, only around 40% of eligible voters actually do vote. So somewhere around 20% of people are actually the movers and shakers for what actually gets done when it comes to who gets elected. That means the amount of people to influence is actually pretty small, percentage-wise.

So, I figure, if each conservative can go convince someone else to be a conservative, and so forth and so on, eventually a change will take place. For examply, I've "converted" a few people from apathy simply by talking about payroll deductions and social security privatization. Just 1 person per election cycle per conservative should do the trick by 2008...
