How would it affect your MO if you never assumed anything about anyone? Why?

Here we go with that always never approach again.

I will say this, Rosie.   As a rule "assume makes an ASS out of U and Me."  But if we couldn't use that tool at all, we would be totally clueless.  

It relies on a part of you that can discern truth from nonsense, it relies on a part of you knowing that being judgmental out of hand never proves anything; and it also relies on your having the proper information that probably is a fact.   I can assume that Trump is a total waste of space because I have a lot of information on hand to verify my assumption.
