Differences in opinion

"Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth; and that, I am sure, is the ultimate and sincere object of us both. We both value too much the freedom of opinion sanctioned by our Constitution, not to cherish its exercise even where in opposition to ourselves." --Thomas Jefferson to P. H. Wendover, 1815. ME 14:283


I ran across the quote on the web while doing reseach for a class project. It reminded me of important dissenting opinions are; perhaps this could be the topic of the next "Kumbaya" session the RUSD board has with the Aspen Group.
