					<description><![CDATA[Donna. Great to hear from you. Yes, there are far too many people who adopt the opinions of others on a topic rather than educate themselves and form their own opinion. I&#039;m not sure there is any other description of that than laziness. In defense of that, we certainly can&#039;t educate ourselves on every topic we run across in life enough to form an educated opinion, but in such cases perhaps silence is our best response. What did Abraham Lincoln say?  &quot;Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brad, great post, and nice to run into you by accident! How many of the people who thought it was a solicitation actually read it? I.e. did someone contact some of them and tell them you were soliciting and, instead of double-checking, they just assumed the person was correct? 

It reminds me of something that happened with my book, where someone who hadn&#039;t read it was furious with me about the way I portrayed guide dogs, because someone else had told them what I wrote. There&#039;s no safe haven from ignorance. Recently, a writer for the law journal, ABA Journal, interviewed me for hours about my objection to the lack of web access at the online subscription library Scribd. She portrayed my discontent as  solely because I couldn&#039;t read my own book there. Like I need to go there to read my book. I think it&#039;s hopeless, but you have to keep on pushing through, following your inner dream of what could be. As strange as it sounds, people are too focused on their own self interests to actually recognize what those interests truly are.]]></description>
