An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments.

An opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. In casual use, the term opinion may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.

What is your opinion on us not dissallowing the remaining petroleum to be used up as fuel?
Q. Please give me your full opinion on this ??? It is quite likely that your grandchildren will be angry that in 2008 we didn't disallow use of the remaining petroleum as a fuel and lock it away for making petrochemicals, from plastics to pharmaceuticals, for which there is no other feedstock. Do you agree?

A. I agree that reserving petroleum its more unique uses is a good idea, but I disagree with the fact that there is no other feedstock for common industrial chemicals. Nearly all current processes use petroleum feedstocks because they are currently the cheapest feedstocks. Because it is easy and energetically favorable to oxidize hydrocarbons, it is often easiest to start with a hydrocarbon even when making a more oxidized organic chemical, such as acetone. But this doesn't mean that you can't start with a more oxidized feedstock, like cellulose from a plant. It will just take more energy to produce the finished product from inferior feedstocks, but if the price of oil goes up enough, and we have an alternative source of energy, it will… [cont.]

What is your opinion on people being allowed to dry their clothes outside in order to save energy?
Q. A number of states are making it against the law to dry your clothes outside on clothes lines. Isn't this going green like we have been told to do?? What is your opinion on this??

A. I think people should be allowed too...I know the umbrella like clothes lines are pretty ugly...but regular ones aren't that bad and it's helping the environment and people can save money...I don't think it's fair to tell people you can't dry your clothes outside just because it doesn't look nice...

What is your opinion of the policy of degregulation and no oversight of corporate entities over the last 8 yrs?
Q. The prevailing attitude since about 1980 has been to write corporate America (the same people who gave us Enron, AIG, Bernie Madoff) a blank check and let everyone do as they please with as little public scrutiny as possible. What's everyone's opinion on this?

A. This debacle has been brewing for better than fifteen to twenty years under several administrations. No one has ever had the power to defeat the financial lobbyist. The results today has been brought to a head after unskilled stock traders have taken advantage of out of control speculation. The mortgage problems date back to acts and actions taken by the Clinton administration that took time to develop, then were exaggerated by the present wars. This is not one administrations problem. And by the looks of it, we will be paying for it after five generations.

  • Fact is not enough, opinion is too much.
    • Todor Simeonov, 2008 (2009)
  • If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
  • The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
  • To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility. Its condemnation may be allowed to rest on this common argument, not the worse for being common.
