this is rule number one in this section.
we all understand that when you come across a tempting rumour spending a couple of minutes checking to see how accurate it is can be utterly exhausting. so relax, facts are pesky little things best treated as optional.

Facts? Those aren't important, didn't you know?

Oh...I know several here that could use that. You know when they twist the facts and sorta have them right but, not completely. Think it will work on that? LOL

Facts? According to whom? If you look hard enough, especially on line you can find what you want to hear! Consider the source, should always be a factor! The use of according to "My Sources" is always a good one, or the old "according to unnamed sources" is another! Boy, the Internet sure has helped our Red and Blue war of words, don't ya think? Me I'll stick with something impartial like "CNN" ! LOL! tdemex

True, "facts" don't always live up to their title. But there is something worse than "facts" that don't live up to their name, that is actual facts that The Central Committee tried to keep from seeing the light of day before they rammed a bill through without being read.

But if the bill is rammed through without giving anyone a chance to read or discuss it... the facts come too late.
