"Find the truth in what you oppose.  Find the error in what you espouse . . . and once you acknowledge your moral duty to speak up, even if your ideas are only half-formed or even half-baked, do not be afraid of appearing less than brilliant in your discourse.  It will be our collective responsibility to discover if there is 'brilliance' in those observations you consider merely ordinary."  Robert Nash in Real World Ethics
