[QUOTE="balloonbuster, post: 1962290, member: 440922"] I consider it part of learning why I believe as I do. It's also how I find out what truly tempts me. Mr. Heinlein wrote something to the effect that to truly hate something, you have to make it part of yourself. In the process of doing this I have held most political opinions and positions at one time or another. It helps me now when I wish to try to lead someone to change their mind. I can put myself in their shoes and then show them why I changed my mind. If I did. [/QUOTE]
