This is another bumper sticker that speaks to the delusion of this age: “If I think it, feel it, hear it long or loud enough or read it in the media, it must be true and I have a right to have it and/or do it.”
That bumper sticker goes against the popular training that students should feel good about their answers, right or wrong.
I’d prefer to turn it around … “Try to think things through, before you believe them”.
This would help a little in our Orwellian 2+2=5 world, where global warming hysteria and Benghazi betrayals, are swallowed whole. The “thought becomes belief” process needs some mental discipline filters inserted.

What They Are Saying About Me
"Someone with credibility is saying these things and trying to do something. Thank you."
"'Obtuse' is just about the nicest thing I could say about Jacobson. The problem with being too steeped in any profession is that you run the risk of no longer understanding the difference between reality and your profession's most obscure minutiae."
"I just wanted to thank you for writing such a great article on your reasons why you voted for John McCain. I wish everyone would have read that article."
"Jacobson is doing only what other McCain supporters are starting to do, produce these worthless pieces from some narrow perch in order to cover up their own racist bigotry"
"Cornell and the country need more educators like yourself to keep the flag of reason flying."
“I take it Jacobson teaches at the cow college part of Cornell, and not the elite section where Coulter attended.”
"Thank you for speaking out... and I hope you avoid repercussions in 'The People's Republic of Ithaca.'"

I believe the driver is a solipsist.
“Think” is not something that they [liberals] do at all.
Caution: Driver doesn’t know right from left. Don’t trust his/her turn signals. Or even his/her brake lights.
I used to think that Democrats were the “good” guys. That is the way I was raised. When I quit believing it everything made so much more sense.
So…I agree with the sticker.

It’s good advice regardless.
Saw a “Nobama” sticker on a Prius this morning.
First time I’ve seen that particular combination….
