I'd say there's one or two "assumptions"...Hmmmmm... I'd say there's one or two "assumptions" in here, Trev. <BR/><BR/>I note your judging the passing on of information you disagree with as 'indoctrination'. From a libertarian perspective, one would expect an acceptance that everyone has a different viewpoint and these should be accepted as part of the grand 'free-market of ideas'. Care to comment?<BR/><BR/>I'm also intrigued by your tendency to list all the other speakers at events a person contributes to, as if this implies something. You seem to believe that people only associate with people of similar political views, and that things can be assumed about people on the basis of who they spend time with. This isn't actually true, but I think you come from a time in which collectivist views and overarching ideologies were the norm, so perhaps its a bit of a generational thing? <BR/><BR/>For example, I've sometimes spoken at events because I'm in agreement with fellow speakers, but the converse is also true - sometimes I would want to speak because I disagree with the other speakers, to offer a different perspective. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are well,<BR/><BR/>Sam BuchananSam Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074652659949626273noreply@blogger.com
