I for one enjoy the plurality of opinions! I much rather live in a society where people argue and don't agree on things, than in a society where there is one 'correct' opinion on everything. Even if I'm on a particular bandwagon, I don't necessarily want everyone else on it. If my bandwagon is actually heading for the cliffs, it's going to be the people not on it who may happen to focus my attention to the imminent crash so to speak.
