have you read the book? if not, then how can you claim it is ridiculous? he paints the group think and peer pressure chillingly. if you have, bravo. i know few conservatives who are secure enough to face something like that with an open mind. most just dismiss it as turncoat crap.
as to your second quote, i always enjoy meeting individuals who are in that minority. the discussions are so much more pleasant once the static is tuned out.
