Hey, the county fair where I grew up had "city/farm of the future"
dioramas and scale models with tiny cars that actually ran around
superhighways. Future stuff belongs at fairs, you betcha. Just try not
to frighten the horses. So to speak.
Also might be profitable to study how the laRouchies and such operate
and do the best possible job of *not* coming off like them. I'm dead
serious here. Hmm. Not a very extro expression. I'm all the way live
serious here.

It will be very possible that they will be running into well-meaning or not so well-meaning people who can debate our views rather well. Yes, bright and educated folks do attend state fairs! lol

Teenagers and college students would be a demographic we should definitely target if this idea is actually carried out.
