    Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

    Alan Watts

    Read it, and I mean really read it. then think about what it is that you inherited that you defend and why you should continue to defend it.

      I think the following quote is in the same vein:

      Don’t take refuge in the false security of consensus.

      [Christopher Hitchens] [1]
