I first learned of Chesterton through Ernest Hemingway. E. H. read his works and endorsed him in his writtings.

You found my cause Biker Bob. I posted that statement to see what comment(s) would be produced. Thanks for responding. I agree that there is good argument for treating all people equal. The difference between all people is very slight when compared to the difference between people and God. As for common sense - it is a great debate to see what passes for common sense. Leaving equality to common sense is probably not a good decision.

On the topic of disenting views: Great. On the topic of imparting any judgement on a disenting view: That's a prejudice that is contrary to equality. Disagreement has no affect on equality. One cannot disagree on fact, providing all the facts are available. One can disagree on opinions because opinions are sometimes loosely based on fact and many other times based on subjective interference.

I enjoy hearing disenting views because it challenges opinions I may hold and may need to revise or maintain. The other thing I've noticed is that the more tightly an opinion is held the more likely it is subjectively polluted.
