Your opinions are certainly justifiable in your own head. But many of us aren't buying the bovine fecal matter you're selling, Mr. Intellectuctual.

It's actually shocking to me that a self-professed intellectual fails to recognize the innate subjectivity of rhetoric, and ignores that what facts you choose to present and how to present them is ALWAYS a political act.

Another bubble I'll burst for you: there is no such thing as objectivity. All facts exist within a context and exist subjectively.
