Reply #55: Open minded [View All]

[ICantBelieve]

For a long time I've tried to narrow down just why I admire General Clark. It took me a while, but I think I've figured it out. It's open-mindedness. He's a real liberal. He doesn't just espouse liberal values, he lives them; he fights for them; he sacrifices for them EVERY DAY. He's open to everything. He doesn't judge before he thinks. He's not afraid of anything, especially not new ideas.

I used to think that I was open minded. But Wes taught me that if you think you're open minded enough, then you're not. There's no such thing. As soon as you think that, you've closed your mind. It just amazes me the way he processes information in such an unbiased way. I try to be like that, but I don't know that I'll ever be as good at it as he is.
