You Know Who You Are

"CHICAGO - In a surprising refutation of the conventional wisdom on opinion entitlement, a study conducted by the University of Chicago's School for Behavioral Science concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.

"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz"

I take this study as a direct attack on The Aurora and I want to offer you my full support. I say you ARE entitled to your opinions, however unsupported or ridiculous.

personally, i think the whole concept of opinionating as an "entitlement" works. i think only people who have been to "serious" and "respected" institutions of higher learning should be eligible for that particular entitlement. take don*ski for example. he's entitled. and i agree, rhino, well, hmmm. eh. why not.
