I too have lived around people who have never had to defend what they think in any serious way and when called upon to do so resent it, not because they are so wrong or right, but because it was possible to believe without a reason for so doing, it was easy to believe.

I had a teacher that used to say, reason first, answer second. And that's a difficult thing to do since it's easy to find an answer but logic and reasoning come hard.

College Calculus? LOL. Yeah, but awesome. You can't tell people anything. You know this. Most of us have to have a near death experience before we learn anything. It's like some comdian said once: People always happen to find Jesus in jail, don't they? Especially on death row, that's when they really find Jesus, right there. I remember this lady in Texas -- she was trying to get out of this death execution, talkin' about, 'But I found Jesus! I did!' Well, b****, now you gonna meet him. What's your problem?

Indeed, many are like the fellow who wouldn't change his mind until severely beaten. He said no one had ever explained the situation like before.

Maybe mules and humans are related!
