Do you think that using that strategy for 30+ years and seeing things get consistently worse would maybe signal that you should try something else?
Well it hasn't gotten consistently worse, it's up and down. We got Florida Forever environment protections, got gay marriage and things going in the right direction for awhile. So no. I think raising a bunch of people who care does more, and when I go into my kids' high schools and see how different it is from when I was in school, it seems hopeful.

What do you suggest instead?
