I have always prided myself on the "liberality" of my views.
I always felt that I was tolerant of other views and that feeling was coupled with an amount of condescension ("They don't know what they are talking about...they'll come round... they have'nt seen enough yet").
Today I realized that in certain aspects I set new records in being dogmatic. I fail to appreciate that the opposing opinion has merits as well and that the people I am arguing with (with an amount of asperity) are thinking individuals and need to be listened to as such....
What a pleasant surprise!!!!
