I do not have to be in agreement with people of differing viewpoints in order to learn.Roland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-8675308024308172042010-04-17T16:10:41.377-04:002010-04-17T16:10:41.377-04:00Thank you Amigo Roland.

As you rightly point out, there is not only nothing wrong with discussion of facts and points of view, in fact such discussion is essential in a free society.<br /><br />I am blessed that you choose to share that sometimes differing point of view with me, with Dave, and with the world at large (even when we don't agree).Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-38374930526077276922010-04-17T15:26:54.986-04:002010-04-17T15:26:54.986-04:00Extremely good posting, Tim.

You have used an excellent example that really is poignant. <br />All too often, people believe in "truths" based on perspectives and points of view rather than based on cold, hard, fast facts. You, Dave (Hooda Thunkit), and I all seem to understand that. I guess that is why you, Dave, and I may differ with one another on some topics, and still remain close amigos. That is from my point of view.Roland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.com
