““It is curious how people’s attitude to the existence of a supposedly empirical phenomenon depends so completely on their political outlook. It is as if policy determined facts and not facts policy. If people are against big government they tend to deny that there is any such phenomenon; if they are for big government they tend to regard it as established fact and equate those who deny its existence with Holocaust deniers.””

The really reasonable people, who have more claim to be considered, will believe that the facts are exactly as they are.” quote by Socrates](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d1/socrates-405_absolute-truth_w-hy-should-we-pay-so-much-attention-to_1029000.jpg)
