Isn't it funny that it takes intellectual capacity to understand your posts? Considering the complete lack of facts and logic used when you take one of your confused, ambiguous, moderate finger-in-the-air testing the wind positions it just makes it even funnier to read that post.

Look, I constantly test my ideas against reality. The one thing I completely agree with John Maynard Keynes is that when the facts change I do change my mind. But when history and facts don't change on something I believe I am actually not stupid enough to doubt it simply because someone came up with some pithy quote. Sort of like imagine world peace or coexist or some other stupid bumper sticker.

As I said before, I believe in objective truth. Something that is true regardless of whether some liberal or moderate (aka liberal that is too ashamed to admit what they are) believes it or not. It takes a lot less intellectual capacity to question everything, to doubt everything and to be willing to change your opinions simply because the crowd goes that way. It is why I believe man-made global warming is baloney, it is why I believe that socialism has never worked in all of history, it is why I believe much of what I believe. Because that's what the facts show.

If you want me to change my mind on something bring new facts to light. Don't emote all over the place and don't post stupid polls that say 60% of the respondents think this politician or that one is seen favorably. My God, I am sure Hitler at some point was wildly popular and we see how that worked out. I am not simply going to blindly question my core beliefs because you think I should.

Honestly, every architect in Atlanta that I consider for work will be given that quote and if they agree with it without qualification I will move on.
