How Do We Know We are Right?

Silly question, eh? We just do. Well, that is true, but some of the time I like to have a bit more of an objective “reason.” I will attempt to present that here, although the objective reason often doesn’t cover the nuances or the more subtle reasons why we think a particular way, or do a particular thing.

So what if the agenda seems to have a good point? What if we really are screwing up the planet with carbon emissions, or other filthy pollutants? What if there is a point to the effort to inoculate against a rampage of diseases. I mean, are there not diseases out there that could indeed kill a whole whack of us if not controlled some way? Now, I know some of you have no problem saying, “no, no, no” to each one of these things. But many of us do believe there is a possibility that humans have put too much ozone in the atmosphere, or that some wild and crazy disease could get loose and wreak all sorts of havoc.
