Well, since that's already true, it hopefully won't take much
convincing.  :)  If you mean to convince the general public to actually
*use* 0 and negative years AD instead of BC, though, that'll take some doing.  
(Astronomers do that already, but they don't count as the general public;
they're more a specific public.) :)
