The door is open. Why not stop in and read?

When it comes right down to it, people are not prepared to admit that they themselves are incapable of realizing their own bias. Even journalists, who have been trained in realizing and protecting their work from being bias, still falter at points. It is my personal and professional (as much as I can be, at least.) belief that if one can at least shelter....Let's say 60-64 percent of their bias for a single subject, they can effectively write about it.

"But wait!" You say. "What about those teachers and editors who just don't like the subject matter?" Well I say this; you can't take the literary fire, get out of my word processing program. For someone who doesn't know the subject matter, this is your chance to learn. Embrace it! Read a book, play a videogame, listen to some new music, but not sit on your fluffy green chair with armrests and claim that something sucks because you refused to give it the light of day. I have lost whole letter grades on the aspect of academics, from well-written papers to loosely-formalized articles. I know what it is like to be judged.

But I also know what it is like to judge. I am human; I am capable of bias such as everyone else. I personally don't like videogames of sports, fashion completely foreshadowing the personality of a person, and established religion breathing down my neck. One must learn to judge within the confines of their ability; know your hate, find its flaws, and emblish them. Chew out in moderation, and with respect for the work the people have done. One needs a healthy amount of respect for the things they despise...look back at any successful leader or military startegist, and you will see it as well.
