hi grusum9.

Interesting opinion. :)

((every opinion we don't give voice to (humility), influences us))

Well, I don't equate not giving voice to one's opinion with humility. Apathy, intimidation, arrogance etc. can also be reasons for not giving voice to one's opinion. Humility to my mind is the appreciation of one's own limitations to know the truth. Equally, it is an appreciation for the value of other voices.

((voiced opinion is all propaganda))

Well, I guess it could be construed that way. However, to my mind propaganda contains with it a certain intention to deceive ... or to state one's rationale one way, while one's true feelings belie another. To sincerely debate in respectful dialogue, even though one has one's one beliefs and opinions, with repect for truth, and the perspective of "the other", is the very antithesis of propaganda IMO.

... and that's my opinion. :)

Best wishes,
Glenn
