My Rant ....

Post by JimT »

Question everything! Question everything!
Descartes

It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.
Benjamin Franklin

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for
existing.
Albert Einstein

Avoid blind compliance. Ask questions.

Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.
Euripides

Liberty is about our rights to question everything.

Follow the evidence wherever it leads, and question everything.

In a complex universe, in a society undergoing unprecedented change, how can we
find the truth if we are not willing to question everything and to give a fair hearing to
everything?
Carl Sagan

As journalists, we cannot swallow the official line without question. We should
challenge almost everything that dictators, presidents and officials say.

We especially need imagination in science. Question everything.

Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have
questions, you'll never find answers.

In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. Question everything. Don't believe
everything you hear. Come to your own conclusions.

Once you've decided that something's absolutely true, you've closed your mind on it,
and a closed mind doesn't go anywhere. Question everything.

Science is a method, not a religion, yet it can be just as close-minded. Open minds
here. Always open minds. Question everything, accept nothing as fact until you prove
it for yourself. If you can't question science, then it isn't science...it's propaganda....

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he’s one who asks the right questions.

Too many young sheep today blindly following for free handouts.

Too hard for them to think for themselves easier to let others think for them

Make decisions based on emotion only facts just get in the way

That cell of Linus has gotten lots of use over the years!

I didn't believe the science when they locked us down- I had a good idea it wasn't a natural virus but couldn't prove it, we would have all had it before! Common sense at work.
I didnt trust the little elf from the CDC . Never will...well

Nothing about the CDC today is about health & well-being, it's about being a puppet* for their agenda.

No place to sign ... nothing to join. Just be you. We were created by the Creator to be creative. That requires us to be who we each uniquely are. Inquisitive. Searching. Not following the crowd. Thinking. Questioning. And importantly ... teaching and encouraging others to do the same.

Jim when we meet in our father's house! It will be a great family re-union, be a pleasure to meet and shake hands in the glory. Tod

Questions are a good idea. If science cannot defend itself with repeatable experiments which give the same data, then it is propaganda.
