Everybody wants to participate in t-shirt politics and half-time trivia talking points.
Politics isn't supposed to be entertaining, politics isn't supposed to be entertainment.

"If Lucy believes that Rock (Hudson) is to die for, and Desi believes that Rock (music) is to die for, they really don't agree on anything, do they?" --Daniel Dennett "The enemies of freedom have always charged its defenders with subversion. And nearly always they have succeeded in persuading the guileless and well-meaning." --Karl Popper
Best posts... "what I believe..."
"One is distressed by the failure of reasonable people to perceive either the depths of evil or the depths of the holy... [b]itterly disappointed at the un-reasonableness of the world, they see that their efforts must remain fruitless and they withdraw resignedly from the scene or yield unresistingly to the stronger party."--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

People tend to place greater priority upon entertainment than serious matters. If you wish to bestow a message upon the masses, you must teach in a way in which they will be receptive to your message. People will be not only listen to your message if presented in an accessible manner, they will seek additional information.
Food for thought.
