29. Facts are on my side allright. I keep citing them again and again.

What I get in response (on the occasions when I get a response) amounts to nothing more than admonitions that deflect from the facts. And, naturally, in the absence of anything remotely substantial, laughable presumptions of higher moral ground.

And thank you for finally addressing my post with an illustration that is directly relevant to its content: a classic example of facts being routinely ignored, and opinions prevailing.

Too bad for the facts.
