Cal,

You'd be surprised at how open minded I am. Where I become "conservative", as you put it, is when people are faced with cold hard facts yet still "believe" what they do. That is my issue.

As evidence of my open mindedness, I have books that cover Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, Nostradamus, UFO's and alien abductions, crystal powers, scalar electromagnetics, the Illuminati, Glastonbury, and the face on Mars. I have books by Berlitz, Zecharia Sitchen, and even one by Stan Deyo.

I have Bibles (at least three versions), a Book of Mormon, the Book of the Hopi, the Popol Vuh, and a condensed version of the Mahabharata.

What I don't do is take any of it at face value. I read, think, and make my own judgement. I am also not afraid to change my mind when new information comes along. There are several of the above subjects I "believed" in at one time. Some I still think are possibilites.

There are also things I have seen and experienced that to this day I cannot explain.

So, if that defines "tunnel vision", what defines "open minded"?
