Actually though, sometimes people really are ready to hear it. They just are shocked at first. I have found a small handful of formerly life long middle class democrats are starting to question to what is going on. Sometimes after the initial shock of what you say- sinks in- so long as it's not rude, actually gets these people thinking. But then again- like you said with your - sometimes, these people will never speak to you again.

But I figure- at least it's worth a shot.
