Evidence Quote

you might want to constantly ask yourself the following question do i believe this issue that's called the issue xyz and then secondarily what would count as evidence either for this proposition or against it if you are willing to look for evidence in favor of what you believe and also evidence in favor of what you do not believe... the intellectual honesty that you will bring to these issues will benefit you
