Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There’s no better rule. — Great Expectations

My Take – There is a lot of rhetoric flying around these days.  Opinions and slogans are stated as facts, and they are used as a cudgel to beat down opposition.  Don’t be fooled by it.  Challenge assertions, demand sources for ‘facts’, and do your own research and thinking.  In other words, become part of the solution, not the problem.
