I'm still with Luke on this one - because people in certain circumstances (re psychological state and/or current position with regard to some 'official' education) do believe what they are told. The other side of the coin is that they do the opposite, not believe it at all and think they are being lied to, for cultural reasons - a more healthy response initially but just as damaging in the long run because it leads to blind anti-intellectualism. What people have to realise is not that all opinions are relative but that all opinions are contingent.

And hi there Tilla.. How's things?

Cheers

Do you need to 'believe' anyone? Poetry as a myriad of expressions with myriads of ways of apprehending it and I'm enjoying my snippet.

That's not what I meant, am not trying to educate. I dislike e.g. like not knowing who to believe, as it makes for more much more work.
