One Day at a Time

Andy, I think this cartoon resolves your discussion dilemma from a little while ago, doesn't it? ;-)

Seriously, though, Andy is right. It seems to be a little ridiculous to remain silent in the face of ignorance, lest the ignorant one assume you agree. Fortunately, tact has never been one of my strong suits, so if I disagree with you, you will know it. Of course, this opens the door for comments along the lines of, "You're blind if you think that!" and other gems which have come from a group of my friends through the years, and it also opens the door for hurt feelings amont friends. But I guess in the long run, I feel that my friends are better off knowing where I stand than assuming I tacitly agree with them because I didn't say something.
