Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) said, "The opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject." I am going to have to go along with Marcus on this one. Yet, everyday we are bombarded by the media with celebrities spouting opinions about things they know nothing about. And, millions gasp and say, "Oh, that is so true."
For almost 30 years I worked in electrical energy efficiency and almost everyday, I hear or read opinions by people that have no idea what they are talking about. Please, if you have an opinion about something, do some research and analysis. By the time you put in the time, you may discover that you really didn’t know anything.
I think Marcus and I would have been Buds.
