      Yeah, I always challenge all of these guys, anybody wherever I go.

      It’s better to leave them with a couple of things to think about, even if they’re too thick from being conditioned by RW media.

      I have a old close friend who’s very bright but basically a moderate, who like clockwork now regularly comes to me at intervals of 5 years (after attacking my views) to tell me I was right about all or most of it.

      Gets exhausting though. I’ve found myself pulling away from this guy (who’s my oldest friend in the world) because I just can’t take his fear -based attacks. Just admitted to me last year he now believes there’s something to Institutional Racism, and that I’m responsible for two of the three most influential books on him (which includes Howard Zinn’s People’s History).

      It’s worth it to hold your ground. Often times it does seep in. Eventually.
