You can only see what you see, and that's all you will ever see, all you ever can see.

I am sure you are wrong.

We may be beating up on each other for no reason. Perhaps there is a good reason for this.

It may just be that we don't have the tools to allow us to see truth. It may be that our language tools are too imprecise. It allows for too much in ambiguity. It may be that our language is too primitive.

In mathematics, it does not matter if you are tall, short, beautiful, or ugly everybody can agree if the equation is right or not. Somehow I believe that we can some day express everything with the precision of mathematics.

Someday, you can ask the question "is XXXX a good president" and based on some empirical standard digesting 6 years of data, there is a score.

But, for now, it is obvious. There is truth. Most of us choose not to see it, but there are people that beleive in it and seek it.
