I never ceased to be amazed at what value people find in attempting to argue points that are subjective opinions.
If you say to me "I believe the sky is going to fall tomorrow." I typically will say "I think your crazy but you may be right."
My reaction is based on the fact that while in my belief it is very unlikely that your prediction is going to be correct I can't possibly prove you wrong.
Today I voiced the opinion that a commentator was a Fox news political hack based upon the times I have seen him express his opinion. He is very akin to chicken little in his shrill doomsday predictions. Worst of all is that he never bases these opinions on facts. He does not cite any studies or research. We are just supposed to take him at his word without the benefit of critical thinking or reasoned discourse.
And yet I am told to shut up for voicing my opinion. Amazing!
PS. don't hold your breath waiting for me to shut up... you don't look good in blue.
