I'm reading an article called "'Drinking Age Has Simply Got to Go,' Say Campus Riots" by Pamela White.
I have one question.

"Yet I'm not the first person in Boulder to call for the abolition of the drinking age. The call has been sounded time and time again by sincere people across the political spectrum. But it has always fallen on reactionary ears. Instead of taking the logical step and backing off, we now have tougher drinking laws and more rigid enforcement, forgetting, I suppose, that prohibition has never worked and never will."

Who is the subject of the underlined sentence?
sincere people or reactionary people?
 
You've marked this question as "Answered" so I'm closing the thread.
