The funny thing is that a lot of people in this country claim they believe in freedom of speech, or democracy, but in reality, they never take a Disagreement as an answer.


YiWu,

I recommend that you read Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions. It takes a long time for people to be able to hear new ideas. It has nothing to do with free speech.


just like Bush's my way or high way


Bush's paradigm shift is meeting the same type of resistance. Notice you assume you are right and Bush is wrong. This is the same cognitive filtering process that prevents people from hearing what you have to say sometimes.

Human nature is a bitch.
