Have a definite opinion.
I'm a right-wing pundit and have been for many years.
I could get a better education interviewing John Steinbeck than talking to an English professor about novels.
I'm willing to zap conservatives when they do things that are not libertarian.
Knowing how things work is the basis for appreciation, and is thus a source of civilized delight.
The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.
