Just because an opinion exists does not mean that the opinion is worthy of respect. Some people deserve to be marginalized and excluded. There are many questions in this world over which rational people can have sensible confrontations: whether lower taxes stimulate or stagnate growth; whether abortion is immoral; whether the ’60s were an achievement or a disaster; whether the universe is motivated by a force for benevolence; whether the Fonz jumping on water skis over a shark was cool or lame. Whether Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare is not one of these questions.

I agree with the first two lines completely, and as I tend to consider other people’s opinions in this light, I also put my own opinions out there on both sides of the table. Everyone is welcome to their own opinions, but it should be assumed that some opinions are a great deal more well thought-out than others.
