47. True.

I've done my share of protests and dealt with people vocally opposed.

Some people are beyond hope.

But I've engaged with people.

Actually completely changed one fellow's mind about a (very specific) issue one time within the course of a couple of hours

Started when I walked up to him, he got a pretty nasty scowl on his face and said a few unpleasant things.

I said, "It's hot out and you don't look to have anything but that sign. I was wondering if you would like a bottle of water."

The look on his face was priceless. Last thing in the world he probably expected.

He muttered "thank you" and took it.
