You know what they say, opinions are like ears. Everybody’s got ’em.

Ok. So I changed that old adage a bit. This is a family blog, you know!

But I really do think opinions are like ears. And kind of like your ears, if you don’t clean your opinions once in a while, you won’t be able to hear anything. You won’t be able to learn anything new.

If you like watching all the political and social pundits–like Glen Beck and Rush and Bill O’Reilly or, on the other side, Keith Olberman, Al Franken (though he’s a little more legit now), and Michael Moore–that’s fine. Just remember that these folks make money by forming opinions and sticking to them no matter what.

They put on a show of being unreasonable, so maybe we don’t have to. Thanks, guys!
