being open minded

has any one ever noticed that those to profess being open minded are really open minded to what they are doing? For this reason I don't believe that anyone is truly open minded about everything.  If you are then congratulations because you are the exception. For example, those that are convinced that global warming is happening. I've talk to some that will absolutely tell that  there is no way that Global Warming does not exist. Is that person truly open minded about global warming.  I don't think so.  How about the people that feel the government should provide things to it's own citizens like health care.  Are those people open to the idea that the Government is not responsible for health care?  Of course it goes both ways.  Is there anything wrong with not being completely open minded?  No, there is nothing wrong with having your opinions.  If we were all "open minded" then what would people believe in?  There would be no standards that someone would hold themselves up to. If we were all completely open minded then we would not have an opinion about anything because that would mean that we are closed to the opposite side. I think that it is silly to say that a person is closed minded about something, especially if they have study both ends of the issue and then came to a conclusion.
