the views expressed were liberal (one encounters the same thing with conservatives), but that they were platitudes. These were people who shopped around for ideas the same way they bought clothes: by patronizing reputable purveyors of information and opinion.Unfortunately, what works when it comes to buying a pair of pants doesn't work as well when it comes to furnishing one's mind, if only because ideas are not something you put on, but rather something that you ought to arrive at, at least to some degree, on your own.
