I personally like ideas better than facts when I am discussing issues. Once an event passes, all that remains is the idea anyway. (Some may say that without the idea there is no event. The arguments against this may vary but it is usually that someone may drop a rock on you or somethin and it is up to you to say if it occurred. We can argue the ideas if you are willing to leave the facts out, if that makes any sense. It is sort of putting in the concrete to confuse the abstract. Or discussing essence in existential terms even though those too branches of philosophy are at odds. Sometimes what appears to be a paradox is just the misuse of language.) In all the issues of world importance I can be argued into silence by someone who knows the issues better than me but the same argument may fail against someone who also knows the issues. Facts are so subjective these days. (?) A person can see a fact and present it in a way to give the wrong impression and it may still carry the force of the fact. Whether someone did this with the rabbit incident is just as moot as the incident because anyone not there may believe the way their tendencies dictate. Someone who was there may also be dictated to by their tendencies but they also may not. I have to believe in accurate perception even if it is tunnel vision. I have to go until next Monday. Later. adios compadre, Bobby G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
