of human discourse, proliferate;
are almost weightless; annoy
so much they wither us. The more
opinions most people hear or read,
well, the more they think they
should cultivate their own. A few
respond another way. They constrain
their points of view, refuse to argue,
wait for evidence but rarely
trust it. They're just fine with
saying "I don't know." Terrifying words.
Sometimes I place the word "opinion"
next to the word "onion." It is fun
to look at them side by side. Always
I prefer "onion" to "opinion."
