The little guy (me) can also evangelize. My way of evangelizing is to encourage users to ween themselves off Microsoft packaged applications. There are positives to this: more control over the applications, an opportunity to learn how the technology ticks and a sense of accomplishment in becoming a power user of the applications. Microsoft's prepackaged applications are just another bellweather of approaching "dumming down" of society. Evangelism isn’t just a job for the icons/elites. The little guy (me) can also evangelize.

He is an insider who has close ties with the lobbying interests. The whole bunchof them have built a shadow government that runs the show with money. Notice the environment is a non-issue with voters. Why is this? Even if there were no global warming, we treat the planet like our personal toilet. Cruise ships still dump their filth into the sea. Why can't people get the message? Toxins kill. All living things die from the waste in the air, the ground and sea. The politicians are ignoring the problem. I was a good debate with some surprising revelations. Obama represents the same old establishment rhetoric. He is an insider who has close ties with the lobbying interests.
