Of course they're paying attention. The so-called narrative is showing up on protestor's signs, such as the one pictured here: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/jobs-an.... It's the classic case of, "it's not working; we need to do more of it!" In this case, the evil business leaders are the banks.

I used to frequent a used-book store that gave away copies of AS. I did drag a few people in, put it in their hands, and push them out the door - most actually read it and talked to me about it. The idea of getting something "for free" hooked them, and the realization that there was a cost - their reason engaged - set the hook. That bookstore no longer exists...

These AS references are wonderful!

Maybe we can leave a copy in all of the motel rooms, like the Gideon bibles?

And anyone that finishes AS before checkout gets a free Producers membership in here....

They would have to commit hari kari to admit to this, and they don't have the 'stomach' for it.

They are still in denial that this is because their programs. Or they still haven't figured out their narrative to blame the evil business leaders.
