Keith:

Wonderful post; the best I've seen in a long time!

I especially liked:

<<If you take a huge amount of information, there is a logical progression to form a conclusion. However, the correlation between all of the information may be purely random. Dogmas are created when we use the process of intelligence to assimilate all of the information into a critical overview of the facts. ....

Why do facts have to create a conclusion? In the area of politics, it creates paranoid observations that attack anyone in the spotlight. I am not trying to suggest that people should not try to understand the information at hand. However, it is totally obvious to me that people try to use the gathering of information as a means of being critical of the people whose ideology they do not like. Conversely, they go out of our way to make excuses for people whose ideology they support.>>

Bravo. IF I COULD, I WOULD MAKE EVERY POSTER READ IT ALOUD 10 TIMES.

Thanks again,

Bruce
