"People in a pluralistic society never settle on one viewpoint. They always divide themselves into factions. . . . To the extent we pursue faction building, we are playing into the game of adversarial politics. What are our chances of victory, realistically, in that rigged game?" (John)
Quite true, which is a good argument for doing it the way the Pilgrims of St. Michael did in Madagascar and the Philippines: reduce the problem to a scale you can manage and then act. You can't convince thousands, but you can convince the village elders. The village is an economy. If you can do it a real service, you will have done something.
