(2,572 posts)The beautiful thing about facts and reality is much like the Laws of Physics they dont care what one believes. One can believe all they want that a 20ft gap can be crossed in 2 - 10ft jumps but the reality will quickly disabuse one of that belief.
One of the bigger problems I see is that often times the true nature of an issue cannot be conveyed in 10 words or less (Like the Westwing episode explained) and people are simply not willing to take the time to understand why something is the way it is.
