Scott,
I agree that this is not the way to make a convincing argument.

However, we live at a time when it is more and more true that one point of view is promoted everywhere, while the other point of view is being silenced wherever possible. We're not far away from the time when the option of presenting an alternative point of view is no longer allowed.

As long as it is still allowed, I think its worth taking time to plant seeds. Its really all we can do.
