Talk is Cheep - Addressing Concerns With Regard to Differing Opinions



Woodstock says: "/ \ \ / / \ \ / / / / / / \"

Granted you may not agree with him - but here are some thoughts to consider:

"...I have always understood, sir, that the citizens of these States were possessed of a full and entire freedom of opinion upon all subjects civil as well as religious..." ~ John Quincy Adams (rising to the defense of his father, John Adams, he took Thomas Jefferson to task for claiming that a difference in political opinion might be declared "heresy", and those who differed in view from himself were therefore heretics.)

"
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd." ~ Bertrand Russell

"I do not agree with a word you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it". ~ Voltaire

"Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves." ~ Albert Camus
