"To me truth is precious....I should rather be right and stand alone
than to run with the multitutde and be wrong....The holding of the
views herein set forth has already won me for the scorn and
conetempt and ridicule of some of my fellowmen.  I am looked upon as
being odd, strange, peculiar....But truth is tureth and though all
the world reject it and turn against me, I will cling to truth still."

That was wirtten by Chales Silver de Ford in 1931 in a publication
which he proved the earth is flat.  My source is Matrin Gardner's
_Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science_.  Gardner comments
that "Sooner or later, almost every pseudo-scientist expresses
similiar sentiments."

"...Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all
told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to
his or her opinion. Well, that's horsepuckey, of course. We are not
entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our _informed_ opinions.
Without research, without background, without understanding, it's
nothing. It's just bibble-babble...."
