Eeeeeasy there pardner!

The Constitution is a magnificent document; I'll grant you that. Take a good hard look at article two. But for the placement of a comma, that would be plain clear text even in today's idiom.
But seeing how divisive a single issue that is about practical matters can be, the IDEA is proving to be tougher to rope than the proverbial greased pig. As I see it.

We each hold our opinions. In my opinion (sic!), all we have from birth to death are opinions. Our entire lifelong act of sensation, cognition and intellection is one grand chain of opinion and attitude.

It is an article of faith that I hold: that we can collect and trade facts all day long, but actual Truth is forever just beyond reach. That goes far toward quenching my passion, at least.

As regards the following post, I do not know what to make of your use of the verb "evaluate". In order to do that I would have to first "valuate", something that I say can't be done to the grander human ideas.
