When was the last time...

[ColbertWatcher]

...you were the only person opposing what everyone else was doing?

I was inspired to ask this question based on another thread.

Please tell your stories in reply.

1. The last time I was WRONG.

Of course, this is a faded, distant memory.

contrary to current faddish opinion, there is absolutely no virtue inherent in opposing the opinions of the majority. I extend this to the tendency of moderns to assume that there is virtue in opposing the practices prevalent in the past.

The majority might be right (and has a greater probability of being so,) the minority or the individual might be right (and occasionally, spectacularly so.)

2. I don't know if mine counts.

I opposed what they were doing, but what they were doing was nothing. I went against that by doing something.
