I have reversed course enough in life to know I don't possess the TRUTH. I don't dismiss the other side out of hand. I actually try to listen to them because I know they must be stupid for a reason.

Censorship isolates a person to their own corner of reality. And if you do believe your points are worthy, then you certainly don't improve the world by NOT using dialogue to teach others...

The Bakers of the world are smug, arrogant, and useless. They don't dialogue. They simply dictate. I don't want to be like that. Do you?

Galileo would have loved today's Western World Freedoms and perhaps would have been able to exercise his right to freely associate or disassociate. 300 posts since I logged out at noon and 100 or so more to read. Not one piece of current news, just BS being thrown from AS and Solon and Scoobah insisting the we stand here and be hit with it.

Lorne was right and I should have saved myself the time reading the last 1000 posts.
