In YOUR opinion
But of course. That goes without saying. But of course you had to say it anyhow. <g>
As to a variety of ideas, surely. But OTOH, there are far more views than it is possible to read. So one must pick and choose somehow. I don't read the essays of third graders on world history, for example, even though they would probably give me a different point of view.
One must pick and choose. It try to pick and choose from a variety of viewpoints -- that's why my weekly reading encompasses a wide range including not only the mainstream media but ranging from to the Weekly Standard to the Progressive, from the National Review to Mother Jones. If that range of reading makes me a dull boy by your viewpoint, so be it.
But one must exclude, and the basis I try to choose to exclude on is not viewpoint based but rationality based. And Chomsky doesn't pass the test, for me.
IMO, of course.
Which, IMO, is better for me than YO. |
