Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

So true.
But wait. Isn’t everything relative? Who are YOU to say you have the facts and not me? You are pigeonholing me into YOUR concept of reality, and I am OFFENDED.

Hmm. That was supposed to come across as sarcastic. I hope it did.
Anyway, yes, you’re exactly right. Facts are paramount, we must base our every thought upon them.
However, we do need to be careful about what we take as fact. For sorting the fact from the fiction (and the lies) is a very difficult task.

Yes, the sarcasim came through just right.
My facts are different than your facts…unless you believe my facts then your facts are correct. right?
