> What happens when the lone voice is in the right, and the mass of people are in the wrong, and all of the preponderance of current science and wisdom is against the lone voice?

Unless you're trying to endorse that memo, perhaps you should save this comment for when that actually happens.



How would we know? In all likelihood, we'd be in the majority then too...

Are we actually right? is a good question.

Are we letting people ask the provocative questions to move forward is the bigger question that must be asked. Wherever we are on the political question.

Truth often is uncomfortable.

Now, if I say "I think the memo was wrong", could you trust me? Would I be conforming ideologically to avoid blow back... or would I really believe it? :) I leave it to those who know me or hunt comment histories to form an opinion...


It's possible to defend somebody's right to say something without defending what they're actually saying.

(Come to think of it, that's exactly what Google's official response did.)
