Hi remember me
Most people on this board are not independent. They would like to say they are free thinkers or whatever, but they get their information from limited sources and are no different then the 'average' man on the street. Everyone likes to think they are intellectually superior to others even when they are being lead around by talking points that were manufactured in a focus group.
I like to think I'm independent and intellectually superior as well. I get my information from as many sources as I can, I am a student of history, I don't listen to what people say as much as see what they do. Even so I just may be a slave to my personal philosophy and the only information I absorb be that which agrees with what I want to hear. I don't think I am, but I doubt even the thickest person reading this think they are either.
