We all wear pretty defensive armor but it's not impenetrable.(:) After all it takes a long time to form those opinions we all have and they are based on something. But being no Freud it's hard to pin down where they all came from.

I enjoy jousting for a little while, but it gets tiresome to have six or eight disagreements with arguments that are perfectly clear to me but contrary to the conventional wisdom. The responses that bother me the most are those that talk down to me as if they have some kind of wisdom I don't. Getting a recommendation or two from the choir is more enjoyable. Life is too short to be spending it unproductively. You are right about dogma. I listened to a leftwing radio talk show for a while this afternoon. The moderators intimated that Barack's loss to Hillary in Indiana was somehow the result of a plot by the republican forces that insisted on voter identification. Such an insinuation is simply preposterous. Nobody can argue that fraudulent votes should be allowed; therefore, nobody should argue against voter identification procedures.
