Meanwhile, they're part of a problem that this country MUST deal with.
That's why I see nothing wrong with gently leading them by the nose.
Hell....there are still billboards addressing smoking, DWI and domestic
violence. They may not be the greatest thing since bait vending machines,
as far as getting a message across, but I think they achieve more than
nothing.


You appear to be looking for 100% compliance. Essentially every man,
woman and child marching in lockstep toward your vision. Can you recall
any other social movement that achieved that level of acceptance? Perhaps
you need to ratchet down your expectations a notch. A trend is probably
the best that can be hoped for. Humanity is a diverse lot. It's our
burden and our blessing.



Recycling's got extremely high compliance, if you believe the numerous
surveys that's been done over the years. That trend took 20-30 years to
reach current levels.
