this great Dane is not dogmatic

The great Dane gazed across the tundra. Woof! Why is the root word of dogmatic "dog"? Dogmatic has negative connotations. Dogma exerts a limiting force on the mind. The above dog in the picture does not wish to be limited. The dog would like to run free, with great joy.

A few principles of Club Morono: don't be dogmatic. Question assumptions, opinions and beliefs. Be willing to admit mistakes. Be willing to learn about and appreciate what lies beyond the boundaries of self-interest.
