Bumper sticker I spotted today.
It said "Don't believe everything you think". I think I like it, but I'm not sure I should believe that.

1. I don't like it....the unsaid is "believe everything you're told".
That's how I read it anyway.

3. I would read it as...
'and nothing that you're told."





But that just might be me.:shrug:

2. I like it
It seems to define an open mind.

4. You should. But don't think about it. Wait. I'm confused.

5. The powers that be in the Repuke party taught McCain not to go with his gut about economics. And he
is no longer a maverick. The first thing a cult leader will do will be to break down your strengths. And being able to think for yourself if right up there.

6. It seems very much like
Aristotle's quote:

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

I like it
