None of that works -- except MAYBE the physical voice, printing, and publishing. And that only works on a small level. Those things reach people, one at a time and most often few and far between - unless one is already saying what is appeasing to people already.

Ahh... there's what I've been waiting for. The labels and name calling used when dismissing the alternative idea. I don't do that so as to actually engage with people.
