10. Adding to that thought
The term sheeple reflects an attitude that is at once defeatist and elitist. It assumes that most people are too easily fooled and will not be persuaded to adopt better judgment when persented with facts and logic.

It is our duty to present the facts and logic. Bush is a liar. We must present the truth to the public. We must do so in the hope that the public will understand and listen to reason.

We must have faith in the democratic process. If we don't, we may as well just pack it up, go home and let the yuppie fascists have their way with us. If we can present our case, we will win.

The first thing we can do to better present our case is to lose that ugly term sheeple.
