Said it before and I?ll say it again; skipping rocks across a lake of knowledge and counting each splash as a ?therefore? is a meaningless exercise in whacking-off mud turtles. Misinformation or fact is identified by an objective and complete multi-source study of the topic at hand. Opinion, conjecture, dogma, speculation or editorializing disguised as fact only have value in the eyes of the beholder and have limited other purpose. These things can serve as data points in a wider search but without substantiation, they can hardly be used to prop up a hypothesis.

At a time, this methodology was taught in Universities and in Engineering Schools was called the ?Scientific Method? of stating a hypothesis and subjecting the hypothesis to proofs and tests. These days it seems that three layers of sheepskin and much Hightower frothing and flopping about is all it takes to promulgate pure BS. Name a topic and there are humpty dozen, dozen Phd. types that will render any judgment that sounds good, it?s just a matter of the remuneration offered, that?s all. When I see a Phd. title or other high title wrapped up with a conspiracy theory, I see nothing but red flags and flashing red lights, put my hand over my wallet and peal carpet getting clear. No point in reading or listening any further, tiz a done deal there and then, toast.

But so long as gravity is still gravity and wasn?t invented by Liberals as I?m sure they?d love too claim, I?ll be able to sort the fly shit from the pepper and the keel deep and cutting the blue, hopefully.
