Whenever we take up a new political opinion, it is good to think about for how long we intend to keep it.
Clearly, there are no political opinions that are absolute truths. Whatever we call an opinion must represent a position that at least some other people don't share. Otherwise, it would be called a "truth."
Knowing that our opinions are not absolute, do we think about for how long we intend to keep them? What facts that might swing us to another opinion? Whose authority could reinforce or discard the opinion?
Or do we take our opinions so lightly that we do not even think about how long they will last?
