Sinclair Lewis said that it’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. Miles’ law puts it a little differently, but comes to the same conclusion–where you stand depends on where you sit. I was raised on Twain, so I always liked his take: You tell me where a man gits his corn-pone, and I’ll tell you what his ‘pinions is.
This is where I plan to come to work through cornpone opinions–mine and those of folks around me–to see how they hold up. I hope to look at politics (Petrified Opinions) and organized religion (Soul Butter and Hogwash).
