I totally agree with you here. I fall into this myself, so I'm not implying anything when I say that this happens all the time in Canada as well. I also find that I make a decision on an issue and then am loathe to change my mind until the evidence is just overwhelming in my eyes. An example that jumps to mind is the C-Train parking fees where by the time I came to the conclusion that free parking was not the best way, it was a done deal.
Anyway, the point is that the "other side" has good ideas from time to time, and it wouldn't kill us to acknowledge that.
