Frogza, you pose a very interesting question. I would like to think that I am open minded about new events/ideas, but I wonder how I can be an honest judge of that? I do know that my core beliefs a pretty unshakeable, and it seems logical that I would view everything through a filter of those beliefs to at least some extent.
JustJess has started a new topic that I think goes to the heart of your question. He has asked us to explain the influences that have led to our political beliefs and to what degree we are able to evaluate new information. It's facinating reading.
