Thinkaboutit

   Controversy is like water, wind and sand; it changes things over time, but not always for the better.

    And this has appeared several times in other places in the past few months, and I have to wonder if it's mere coincidence, considering the civil atmosphere right now:
     "There is no tyranny so despotic as that of public opinion among a free people" -- Donn Piatt, American Journalist, 1819 - 1891.

     Total blindness sees more than the deliberate denial of vision, the refusal to consider another point of view, or the absence of curiosity.
