Back in journalism school, a professor started his first class with the insight that opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. And that was still a time when everyone didn't go around airing it.
Now though, I am overwhelmed with the opinion bombardment that happens on a daily basis. It is a noise that makes me shrink back and pack away my own opinions far back in the mind. At the end of a day, you have read so many strong opinions, or opinionated articles, that it is exhausting. And it is all being shouted. There is no subtlety anymore, it seems.
Well, what does my opinion matter? I write a secret blog, after all. :)
