In his closing remarks following a parody of a park ranger, Steyn said, “Smokey the Bear says…Only you can prevent the petty despotisms that license all the larger despotisms to come….Make the difference at the lemonade stand level. Make the difference at the town level. Make the difference at the school district level and remember Milton Freedman’s words that ‘You don’t wait to elect the right people to do the right thing. You create the conditions whereby the wrong people are forced to do the right thing because they can’t get away with doing what they’d like to do.’ Change the conversation, and make this land your land once again.”
