WHEN A FACT IS NOT A FACT!


        A fact is not necessarily always just a single answer. Now we know that two plus two is four. That is a fact. But, when it comes to politics that is just not the case. One person might say that something is a "fact." The opposing person will respond by saying that whatever is a fact is just not true. Or, otherwords must not be a fact. 

          All this reminds me when I took Statistics in college. One thing you learned was how to "lie with statistics!" If you made up a graph for a short period of time, the graph line would go up sharply. Of course, if you drew it out over a longer period of time, the increase was not as dramatic by sight.
