Why Everyone You Know Thinks the Same as You

Because, around the people who didn't think like I did, all I had to do was keep my mouth shut and wait for events to make them think my way. Has happened with a lot of gun totin' bible thumpin attack Iraq colleagues of mine. Hasn't happened with only one; but he was busted for a DUI hit and run of a kid on a bike and lost his medical license, so he doesn't count for much.

In politics, for example, the fact that people rarely have friends with different views makes it difficult to seek common ground or to examine one's positions closely.

I agree, those people are missing a lot.
