Why do we listen to those,
\nwho push their beliefs upon us,
\nalleging they are experts
\nwhen we know that is not possible.<\/p>\n

You can find them most everywhere
\nin politics, religion, and science,
\nspouting opinion and theory
\nas if it were factual realities.<\/p>\n

We could, of course verify
\ntheir remarks with our own studies,
\nsearching into the subject of note
\nwhich would be the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

But sadly, many believe what they
\nhear, because they trust too much,
\nand still won\u2019t know the truth
\nunless they \u201ccheck it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don’t believe what an “expert” tells you
\nuntil you can collaborate it from
\nmore than one other source. It is good
\nto hold it in limbo until this is done.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
