And there are pearls in the lyrics of Dylan's songs -- but he threatens no damnation if I do not heed them.

I agree on pearls of secular wisdom. But, you are wrong on the damnation part. During the 60's, anyone who didn't look like a hippie was shunned by the popular movement, regardless of their disposition. I'm betting you too were a square. Discernment is a process applied to everything, but you really can't control the people with the torches and pitchforks.

Roughly, my position is that it would be easier to influence the route and driver of the bus from the inside, rather than standing in front of it. I choose to lead in the movements I agree with, regardless of why the followers are in fact following.
