We all have opinions. It's what makes the world go 'round. We're all experts--know-it-alls. You name the subject, there's an opinion. We all know what we're talking about.

This isn't bad (having opinions), it's just a fact. But quite frankly, I'm tired of other people's opinions, whether I agree with them or not. I suppose everything we say is an opinion ("Nice weather we're having"). But I'm referring to more controversial topics, like whether it's proper to build a mosque near the World Trade Center site.

My newspaper has a weekly "opinion" page, and this was the subject. I was disgusted at some of the responses. I can't imagine arguing with these people.

Of course, anybody with an opinion opposite of yours thinks you're an idiot. I confess to that thought process. Of course, I'm usually right (roll eyes). But to think and say Pres. Obama is a Muslim, that's just plain wrong (and stupid).

My golfing buddies freely express their opinions. I just listen and keep mine to myself. What good does it do to argue?

Enemies are made voicing opinions. Blogging often brings out the dark side of us with our varied expressions. I'm guilty as charged. Writing about what bugs you, however, beats road rage. I need to lighten up, get rid of all hostility, shrug it off, etc.

Of course, if we all "go with the flow", we could/would be like Nazi Germany. Antithesis is required at times. Just watch your backside.
(Does any of this make sense?!)
