You're right, Geof, but as Steven said, much of the leadership and most influential members (and therefore our public image) are and "MUST be" purist, dogmatic, and far, far out of the mainstream--too far to ever make a positive impression on the average American. It's going to take a lot of work to change that. See <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LOP-General> for some people who I think you'll find think much as you do.
