Howard Zinn on experts

THERE ARE EXPERTS IN LITTLE THINGS, BUT THERE ARE NO EXPERTS IN BIG THINGS. There are experts in this fact and that fact, but there are no moral experts. It's important to remember that. All of us, no matter what we do, have the right to make moral decisions about the world. We must be undeterred by people who say "You don't know. You're not an expert. These people up there, they know." Everyone must be involved. There are no experts.
