Re: How do we *effectively* turn the tide on college campuse
Emotions always win over facts. Political campaigns are successful when they stir emotions over cold hard facts. Sad, but true. I think we spent too much time with facts, and too little time on emotion. The fact that CC already permitted elsewhere showed no increase in gun related injuries or death meant nothing to those overcome with fear. We just need a better PR campaign, preferably run by those who "know how" to influence public opinion. Facts are extremely important, but only when they are folded into a campaign that stirs peoples emotions in a direction opposite their fears. I do not think our side did that effectively this time around.
