On good days I am like a gar. Taking the bait, swimming about about, playing with the angler, fighting and getting reeled in and even lifted out of the water... then spitting out the bait and hook and swimming on my merry way.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

No not really, but then when the rudamentary belief that shapes your behaviour is so erroneous, all that comes after is boud to be a fucking disaster.
