Yeah, good quote, provided your reason and common sense (referred to in the quote) are sound. Unfortunately, it could also be used to justify views that most people find rather strange, like Bob's view for example (no offense intended Bob). The same criticism goes for one of my favourites: "What is good, dude? and what is not good? Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?" - Plato (sort of) in Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.
