Nice to hear. Thanks for having an open mind. I figure you must have been the “classic liberal”, the liberal who truly is open to other points of view, who wants to compare and contrast various viewpoints.
Too many liberal/leftist types, in spite of claims to be tolerant, are actually very intolerant of other views, and seek to shout down and shut down debate.
There are two kinds: ignorants and ideologues. I was one of the former.
