Are We Open To New Ideas?

When I walk into a crowded place, perhaps a grocery store, I often wonder how many of the adults in this place are open to ideas that may run counter to what they already believe.

In our highly politicized world here in the United States, for example, there are two basic views on Trump: a) he’s a criminal who needs to be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned, and b) he’s being unfairly hounded, and the U.S. would do well to re-elect him in 2024.

I like to think of myself as an open-minded guy, but I have to admit that I’m pretty firmly entrenched in the “a” camp.
