But, suspicion has to be balanced by rational assessment, or it becomes a liability.

Listen, you probably think I'm some kind of treehugger, but I am extremely suspicious myself.

All information we get in this society is suspect, and ANYTHING you see on the corporate media must be doubted. But it is possible for an ordinary person to collect enough information from enough of a variety of sources to make rational judgements about the quality of some of that information.

And dude, you should be more suspicious of some if the information you are processing.
