I voted you up. But I think that we can make a difference against ignorance, just by speaking up. In years past, I used to make the mistake of just being quiet when political or moral topics came up, just because I didn't think it would be of any use. I don't think that's true any longer because I realized that if you can state your case clearly enough, and it's a rational position, at least some people will listen. You don't have to immediately convince everyone, or even the majority of people. Just making the correct argument shifts the debate toward a better direction, and that's a powerful thing.
