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.

I've got it on my iPOD, so I can listen to it at work. Now I can turn it on in the car if ever I'm up early on Saturday mornings!
How was it?
