A QUOTE WE MIGHT ALL CONSIDER

[FastmetalBDF@aol.com]

      List : I read this quotation recently, and it seemed it could apply in 
our
discussions where there are differing points of view on a given subject  
......

      The hardest part about gaining any new idea is sweeping out
the false idea occupying that niche.  As long as that niche is occupied,
evidence and proof and logical demonstrstion get nowhere.  But once
the niche is emptied of the wrong idea that has been filling it - once
you can honestly say, " I don' t know, " then it becomes possible
to get at the truth .
                            ---  Robert A. Heinlein
