"We all have biases": does this mean everyone is unable to discern t***h? I have written a few times on "confirmation bias," which is a proven characteristic of the brain...for a number of people. Not all!

As a species we have physical as well as psychological needs. The physical are basic to existence, the psychological basic to having a life. Much of who we are today is how both these imperative needs were met throughout our life. And any further into this gets a nearly useless complexity of theories and psychological schools. So let's go by experience from this point.

Are there people smarter and dumber than you? Are there people more or less aware than you? Are there people more or less insightful than you concerning anything. Do you have "blind spots," areas that may relate to certain predispositions on certain issues to react in certain ways or feel in certain ways, without directly knowing why or misreading the circumstances? I will not labor the point.

Conclusion: we all need to be more open and searching, relying on friends and maybe more often on the opposition to put rabbit ears on our vision for better perception. Some will get it perfectly and others perfectly wrong: but this spectrum exists. Look deeply, not just closely, and listen well. This, however, does not include me, for I rightly know everything. Amen?

Having read some of your post and your fanaticism for the liberal bias agenda, I believe that you believe your last statement completely.But do not despair, all Libertards believe as you do, you know everything and are alway right and everyone else is a conservative right wring nut. So much for a radical left's philosophies.

Yes, you are quite right. I was once pickpocketed while in Europe, I could not feel the thief as they took my watch and my wallet. Funny how slick they can be. Liberals are almost as quick, but I am older now and pay closer attention. I can see through their guise of "helping" and government run programs for what they are. Soon their will be no more pockets for them to pick; then what?

Fleas or lice....both make you itchy and uncomfortable. Reminds me of the feeling you get when a Liberal says "trust me, we are doing this because we have your best interest at heart."

You do not wish to know the real definition of "Trust me" in Liberalspeak. YOU can trust ME on that one.

"This, however, does not include me, as I rightly know everything." I was conducting a valid experiment as to the veracity of your statement. If you truly knew everything, you could have told me the exact amount of change I had in my pocket at that exact time. The only thing I find objectionable about your postings is your naive belief in the innate goodness and benevolence of government, in spite of all the contradictory evidence.

That is all that you find objectionable? I could say more, but I will use my better judgment and keep silent.

Correction, should have read "there" vice "their."
