[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741873, member: 23349"] But those were never facts. Facts aren’t determined by the tyranny of majority opinion. Facts just are. The sky is blue. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. The holocaust happened. Two and two are four. Moral judgements and social norms do shift over time. But what scares me now is that we can’t even agree on things that should be objective. When you have people who refuse to believe that widely reported and recorded events actually happened - like sandy hook - we’ve entered another whole realm of crazy. I heard another version of the ‘first they came for the ...’ quote yesterday. It went ‘First they came for the journalists. After that we have no idea what the hell happened.” [/QUOTE]
