[Lnc-business] Enough pussyfooting. Time for a fearless platform.

[Larry Sharpe]

We can't have both fearlessness and marketing?

As an example:

Instead of - Eliminate all public schools
   *Mainstream Americans assumes NO EDUCATION for their kids and shuts us
off, and media ridicules and ignore us.
How about - Facilitate a completely private school system to give parents
maximum choice, students the most useful/current education and schools the
best environment for innovation.
   *Mainstream Americans and the Media curtly ask, "How?"  And now we have
a chance at a real conversation and therefore real converts.

Caryn Ann - I hope your head didn't just explode. :)
