Some of you might remember my post awhile ago where I blew off steam after one of my professors had a brain stutter regarding firearms and personal freedom.
Well, it's an ethics class and personal freedom comes up a lot. Also a computer class and since we were discussing hackers I emailed the class our thread about the attack on certain RKBA websites.
Only one person has responded with interest. But the exciting part is that he is possibly the smartest person in the class, including the professors. I think we've built a certain amount of personal respect since we seem to be the only ones in class who bother to discuss the issues in depth. He is not pro-gun but he is a very careful and able thinker. I don't think that he will pull back the way the professor did if we put the facts in front of him.
His English is not perfect and he does not yet agree, but please help him along all you can. He is well-respected in the class and if he and I both expressed our belief in personal freedom more converts might follow. Currently, I'm the only one. I have been told that my intellect is respected, but I'm often dismissed as crazy or paranoid. Nyi would not have this stigma and there would be two of us. Besides, the two of us dominate 90% of the discussion in class because we're the only ones who really care much. This is a chance to influence a young man who will probably go far as well as our classmates, including several future school teachers. Let's not lose the chance. Thanks guys. I know you'll do well.
