My name is Oscar S Hopper. I think that every individual should clearly define what they believe on important issues; especially when the issue is ‘controversial’ or a ‘hot-topic’. These beliefs should be logical and based on the best information available so that one does not lie to one’s self and does remain Intellectually Honest. Furthermore, maintaining one definition for personal use and another for professional/occupational use demotes the importance of the issue from paramount to a mere preference (nothing wrong with preferences per se) and creates a type of inconsistency that will herein be labeled: Intellectual Dishonesty.

Wasn't the other lesson something about dealing with bullies? I think the CA governator appeared courtesy of the main character's over-active imagination.
WOW...Who is this 'anonymous'??? I am SO impressed.
Now the true test will be, do you listen again next week?
I probably will, since my alarm clock is set to that station. And, unfortunately, my alarm clock will be set this Saturday.
