I'm well versed.
After years of failed attempts at educating people, personal involvement in politics (including board memberships in political action committees, rallies, speaking engagements, etc), countless books read trying to prepare myself for the "next" debate, etc I came to one harrowing conclusion: most people simply don't care as long as they have sports on TV and beer.
Panem et circenses!
However, I applaud those like yourself that still hold out hope over the crushing weight of our current apathy.
