So, in your view, anyone who didn't stop by these tables cares not about 
justice, etc.?  You have no idea whether these fans belong to 
organizations, make contributions to charities, volunteer their time, or 
any other aspect of their social involvement.  You just draw a blanket 
statement that they're ignoramus Americans, who jumped on the Oils 
bandwagon when Beds hit the airwaves, blindly follow whatever Bush says, 
and don't care about social issues.
