Thank you to all who post political cartoons on DU, they are the most effective tool in combatting..

ignorance and arrogance. I post many of them on facebook because I find that they draw more attention than my well articulated reasonings for or against a particular issue. One of the reasons I believe, is due to the small attention span that most people have. Cartoons speak quickly with images, in a way that words can never do, they can explain subtleties with ease and once burned into the mind's eye they don't get erased, unlike a paragraph or two which someone stops reading after one sentence.
It has been a very effective tool for me in combatting the lies and misrepresentations put out by some on my friends list.

Thank you!
