And to be fair, some liberals. Perhaps those who study the human mind can help us here. There appear to be personality types who are completely convinced that they are right, end of story. My recent conversation with Les highlighted that. As much as he used the language of conciliation and dialogue, he never really entertained any other idea because he was already right.
The AP notes that Tom DeLay knows the courts erred: "'I'm very disappointed in our justice system. There doesn't seem to be justice,' DeLay told KTRK-TV." Why? Because he knows the law and they are wrong.
I am sometimes a little jealous of these individuals. As strong as my ego is and as fervently as I can make my case, I never believe absolutely that I am right.

Streak,
I saw a bumper sticker while I was out today and I thought of you. It read: "Frodo failed. Bush got the ring."
I thought you might get a giggle.
Regards,
Les
Not bad, Les, not bad.
But for the record, liberals don't "giggle." It just isn't done.
I saw one the other day, a magnet ribbon like the ubiquitous
support our troops' ribbons (usotr?), that absolutely made me giggle. It read "Just Pretend Everything is OK." Absolutely it made me giggle. Sorry, Streak. Does this mean I have to turn in my ACLU card?
Ubub, what can I say. Liberals don't giggle. You do the math.
Leighton, interesting. And I can certainly see where "certainty" lacks usefulness in this discussion. However, is there not an epistemelogical component as well--between those who believe that Truth is elusive and those who think they already know the Truth?
