Oh, it is so nice to hold no set views or convictions - it
enables one to jump to any conclusion, because that is how conclusions should
be reached. If we should ponder the facts and take a considered view, then
everyone would reach the same conclusion and that would be boring, and mostly
wrong, because those conclusions would be based on conventional wisdom which is
mostly wrong.
I do not know why fence-sitters have such a bad name. They
should be honoured and revered as much as the opportunists are, the latter of
which I can never be one - missed opportunities suits me just fine. I mean, if
you are a fence-sitter then it would be so easy to jump from this fence to any
side - and so convenient.
