In Bolivia it wasn’t quite so cloak and dagger. Even the big chain movie rental and sales places were selling exclusively pirated stuff. They didn’t try to hide it. They didn’t try to make them look real. We couldn’t even find anyone that sold originals of anything: movies, software, music, games, books even. And you’re right, Bolivia doesn’t make original movies or software or anything because there is just no money in it. Basically means that Bolivia has no theater or literature or innovation, even though the people are smart and talented and potentially innovative.

I am not talking so much about preaching “truths” in the eternal sense of the word. I am talking about leading movements. If you need to make people angry to progress the movement, you are probably more of a pioneer. You are leading out in the cause and trying to get other people to be inspired by it. Preachers have to get paid, so they just say what makes people happy. Pioneers can risk it all.

The best preachers and teachers I know inspire change, even if it may mean angering some of the parishioners. I know this wasn’t exactly your point…but I wondered how they would fit into your descriptions.
