General Discussion

It’s why I dislike jerks like Jonathan Chait. I can’t say I understand the charter school issue very well. But I understand where I stand on it. That sounds perilously like George W Bush’s gut instinct drivel. That’s not what I mean though.

The world is so complex now, it is difficult even for an educated person to have more than a superficial grasp of most issues. But that is not a reason to not have a position where it is important. It helps you know whom to trust or pay attention to versus tune out. That in turn has a lot to do with your peace of mind.
