Opinions Challenged
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 05/06/2016 - 3:49pmElected officials, lobbyists, political candidates, activists, and media pundits - the political class - far too often project little more than self-interest-based opinion. The balance of so many lay people's opinions are too often just that - opinion - uninformed, but strongly held. Now is the time for Isaac Asimov's observation: Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them every once in a while, or the light won't come in."
