With all of the conflicting opinions on all of the confusing issues these days, how in this big, complicated world can one reach any conclusion on what's right and what's wrong?

Examine the facts, the principles, and the values. Hear the opinions of others, without letting others think for you.

And when you have reached a reasoned opinion, examine where this conclusion should take you: should you take action, voice your opinion, join a group to effect change?
