    I believe I can and do when presented with bona fide facts. I have done it with politics, food, relationships, etc.

    I have changed my mind and opinions on a number of things, including who I trust, what I believe, how I think about the harms done to me, the role of government, the sometimes uselessness of formal education, and much more. Seems to me when one is an open-minded freethinker who is honest in self-reflection, change of mind and opinion is a good thing.

    The only thing I have changed my mind about is food items.

    LOL….
    Yeah, I guess you can and did change your mind Lon..
    On the first post DTD June 10th you said you have changed your mind about politics, food, relationships etc and then today, June 25th you wrote that you have only changed your mind about food items hence, you have changed your mind on what you changed your mind about. :)

    To be hones, I change my mind and attitude about something or many somethings each and every day.

    What about those that either aren't open-minded or very little? For wife and I, not everything is a "ok" with us and we just don't "go with the flow".

    I have changed my mind and/or opinion, but it isn't very often.

    Given that I've never been wrong about anything, I have never had the opportunity to change my mind.

    I was going to raise a similar crack but my fear is that there are some who might have taken me seriously.
