I do the same with my books... Nothing like a good argument in the margins with someone who's already said all they have to say on the subject.

I do the same with my books...Nothing like a good argument in the margins with someone who's already said all they have to say on the subject. When we meet someone we like, we often share our ideas on who they are and what they believe in. In a world of opinion, this is essential to getting the facts straight. In our schools and universities, this is even more crucial because of what you learn from your textbooks.

It's easy to get lost in the fog of words but it's important to put your foot on the ground and hold a firm stance on a subject. If you agree with everything someone has to say, you might as well start arguing about "Who shot J.R."
