Closed Minds are Making Me Crazy

There seems to be an over-abundance of people who are working so hard to justify their perception or viewpoint, and not enough time gathering information (data, facts, other opinions, etc.) to weigh alternatives before coming up w the BEST solution.....It's so freaking frustrating!  It's ignorance and arrogance to the highest degree to rely only on what is in your head and only argue using your own logic....UGH!
