Leonard Pitts Jr. of The Miami Herald has written the commentary Our Personal Narratives Often Ignore Facts.

Ten years ago, Arthur Teitelbaum, then an official of the Anti-Defamation League, wrote in another context: Beware the moments when facts seem to confirm prejudices. Such times are traps, when the well-meaning are misled and the mean-spirited gain confidence.

Guilty as charged.  That is what my blog posts are all about.  Once or twice I have posted something that disproves one of my prejudices.  I can’t think of which post that is, but I know there is one.
