I certainly can't argue with that, Allen. In fact, I've never known anyone (but me) to change positions the slightest bit as a result of the debate on SI. I've changed my mind a few times, which is not something that I've particularly noticed anyone else do.

Quite frankly, I spent the first half of my life being able to appreciate both sides of a debate on most contentious issues. I had to abandon that later in life because people thought it was "wishy washy."

The following quote seems germain. I posted it to someone else just a moment ago.

"Open-mindedness is vastly overrated; ...it mean[s] you never cared very strongly about anything that ever happened to you."

--Gary SITTON, late Editor of Petersen's Hunting Magazine.
