So which is worse -- to hide your head in the sand or to just hear one side and refuse to factor in other causes, issues? If you only accept viewpoints that agree with you, what do you really know? If you only listen to happy news or little news at all, what do you learn?
Even here, I try to see all sides. There are posters to whom I am diametrically opposed in almost every non-TOTV issue, yet I read what they have to say, I ponder their comments, I look up their arguments. I learn from them. Sometimes I even change my viewpoint or at least part of it.
