Love the Rachel Maddow line, "You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts." That pretty much sums up how I feel. But, our education system is so poor that many children and adults are unable to differentiate a fact and an opinion. It doesn't help that news has been subsumed in the entertainment division of most major media outlets. Should she get a boob job, does that dress look better on her or her, is he cheating, do you agree with him, and has he had plastic surgery are all more important than questions about whether a politician lies and the answers to all the questions are equally (ir)relevant in our culture.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
