Are you saying that all representations of the "facts" must be given equal weight because we have no means to differentiate between them? That we will have to believe them all or believe none?

have you heard of lawyers asking eywitnesses for their observations while they were at an accident site standing next to one another. And each of them give a different account. Not only that some of the accounts are totally at odds with one another.

My philosophy is "One should never believe what one hears and only half believe what one sees". Thats why I have no hard and fast rules about what goes on in life. I dont get overly excited or overly prejudiced. I know that whats percieved to be wrong today may be percieved to be right tomorrow or vice versa. Or as Shakespeare so aptly put it "life's a comedy if you think and a tragedy if you feel".
